I’d like to get any information or suggestions on data I should include in the presentation in order to:1) present the partnership in a favorable light while maintaining a balanced view of it as a whole, and2) provide enough information in the presentation to give my potential partner a good understanding of, or “feel for,” the partnership, and/or serve as a springboard for future conversation and analysis.An additional, related question: in what way(s) would a business presentation for a potential equity partner differ from a presentation for a hard money lender or private investor?

If this all works out, then there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the OP and other NY landlords in this current bind.

I have knob and tube wiring for some of my lights and outlets in my future rental property.

Yes they are free to go too, but moving is no picnic and not to be taken lightly.

Check out Broomfield, Englewood, Lakewood, Arvada - great suburbs with light rails close by.4.

If you have a specific need in mind, we can shed more light on that.

I too will be running up against the problem of my inability to obtain traditional financing in the near future as an agent.

Maybe increase the perception of value with some light landscaping in flowerbeds.Ultimately you have to “win” in the eyes of an appraiser so whatever you can improve to accomplish that will help.

On my end - I've heard that some of the easiest (and potentially cheapest) tricks could be:- applying a fresh coat of paint on the exterior / interior living room spaces of the home- refurnishing doors / door knobs - updating the lighting of bathrooms or kitchen area light fixtures- bathroom refurbishment- curb appeal / clearing out excess weeds/trees/shrubbery.I've also heard of situations where the home owner would either offer to build, or provide a backyard shed for the tenant as additional storage space, charging an extra $100-$150 per month if the tenant wanted to use it. 

Using a traditional solo 401k ira, then i would be able to reduce my taxable income by $50,000.
