What's generally not obvious (that I harp about on here) is travel costs. 

You should be sure there is a legal, recorded easement for access to the rear property.  

The great thing about partnerships is that it is upto the partners to set the profit and loss ratio's.Something to take into account is each person's specialty and skillset to the partnership.If you have experience or a proven track record of delivering a return for investors - you can demand a higher profit percentage.As Jeff suggested - Please have an Attorney look over the partnership agreement.

Your partner can lend you the money, secured by some other real estate as a notarized/recorded official second mortgage to whatever LTV you wish (incl >100% CLTV).- Loop in a RE lawyer if it's your first time.- DTI still has to work.

Your name is not on any public record, contract, title, etc.

All cash, 100% of purchase price  as earnest money going hard on signing, short DD period, no DD period, no financing contingency, a track record of other deals in the area, and above asking offer.I have see all of these used on different deals.

By "short timeline", I simply mean the quickest path - I understand this is a complex industry where an established track record is a must-have.Would getting my Commercial Real Estate Broker's license and working for a Commercial Brokerage, or finding deals for experienced syndicators (without a broker's license), better serve me in reaching my goal as quickly as possible?

I am currently on a one-year long "mini-retirement" traveling the world and plan on moving to Berlin sometime in 2019.
