1) get someone with experience on your team, an expert - verify their track record. 2) something invisible might be the politics of the town to get your permits and what ever else approved...partner atleast with your first one with a seasoned operator.

I’ve been digging into it lately as my Real Estate Team I am partnered with has multiple multifamily projects for MLI Select — the ability to access higher LTV ratios (up to 95%), amortizations up to 50 years, and better debt coverage flexibility sounds like a serious game-changer for investors focused on affordability, energy efficiency, or accessibility.Curious to hear —Have you or your clients gone through the MLI Select process?

I value transparency, consistency, and learning from those ahead of me.I’m looking to:Network with experienced investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida.Learn best practices for evaluating deals, negotiating, and structuring wholesaling as a true business.Build long-term relationships with cash buyers who want steady access to off-market deals.What I bring:Strong research and problem-solving skills (tech/cybersecurity background gives me an OSINT edge for skip tracing & lead research).Persistence, adaptability, and a hunger to learn.A collaborative approach — I work with two dedicated partners so we can cover all angles of the business (research, seller contact, and buyer relations).My mission:Close my first few wholesale deals this year, reinvest into better tools and education, and become a trusted connector between sellers and buyers.

I am about to purchase a small multi-family property (3 units) with a partner.

That is why we send all referrals back to our realtor partners whenever they want to sell or buy more props.A few things I'll add based upon what I know about successful handoffs between realtors and unsuccessful ones. 

After I started digging into crime stats and school ratings and looking at street views they didn't look so great though.We were just in Saratoga, NY and walked a beautiful house that we were talking about partnering on with a family member.

Here at Owning Your House, we are a national network of trusted partners that connects home buyers, sellers, and even FSBO to verified real estate professionals, including realtors/agents, mortgage brokers/loan officers, title companies/attorneys, and a variety of homebuilders–all in one place.

Devvrat, Would recommend partnering with a lender that only requires soft-pulls which tend to be more and more of the DSCR Lenders.It is certainly an element of scaling that is important to keep an eye on.

Your answer might still be with this money partner, if you find out why the terms you negotiated all of a sudden don't work. 

Welcome It sounds like you have a clear plan and a lot of ambition starting in France and later moving back to NC Wholesaling or flipping is a great way to learn the market and build experience I work with a lending company and often see how beginners connect with local partners and mentors to get deals moving Feel free to connect if you want to trade more ideas
