One of your goals is to build capital so this does fall under one of your goals and if this is a person that you believe you can trust and do business with, which is one of the main things that I would focus on (the partnership).

Our main focus is to find a property that we will have little to no problem renting out and managing.  

My main interest in real estate is in renting and holding properties.

@Alex Boursiquot mainly decided how much equity you want to put into a deal.
