Cash Investor looking to invest in DFW for income+Capital gain

[Shahzad R.]

Hi All,

My first post here.

- I have a friend who wants to provide me cash to invest in DFW, TX market.

- Goal is some furture proof income (think residential multiunits or strip mall) PLUS capital gain.

- I understand strip malls are prone to be failed but residential apartments are not?

- Any particular area I should focus in DFW?

- Amount he is willing to loan me: $1.5M +

- Should I split it into strip mall and some apartment building?

- He will be silent partner and I will be doing all the work, how the profit should split?

Thanks,
