I have a unique situation. 

Buy in a desirable area, near the metro if possible so it would be easier 1. to market it, get many applicants and have more choices to select a good tenant. 2.) ideally get more professionals/steady income renting who will hopefully give you less headaches.

Everything comes up and appears correct in the message (names are highlighted appropriately and selecting from the pop up box), but it does not transfer over to the thread correctly.

Plus, most 9 states have no franchise or corp tax for general partnerships unless you make an S election.

If we could go a little deeper on your unique situation than you can build your buying strategy from there. 

I would suggest identify a few markets that meet your criteria and then seek out the tk providers in those markets, narrow them down and then make your selection . 

The partner needs a way to control his risk if the rehabber doesn't perform.Another is...rehabber might select the realtor and sales price, but the realtor sucks or the rehabber is being unrealistic on price the house sits on the market.  

A good place to start is select the Learn tab in blue area @ top of BP page.

The course will guide you through the sales comparison approach including researching the market, verifying information, selecting units of comparison, conducting a comparative analysis, making adjustments, and reconciliation.

It is a unique property in Galveston and will take some time to find the right buyer.
