Im big on partnerships if you cant tell but partner with them and you can accomplish more, buy larger deals or packages. 

I am currently in a position finishing up stabilizing my first building and looking for my next small commercial property with a partner in a specific part of MA, and actively learning about partnerships and putting teams and systems together!

Anything anyone can add would be helpful as I have 16 residential properties and partnership in a shopping center but this side of the business is brand-new to me. 

Buy a small multi fam and live for free. 3rd option is to play the money man in a partnership.

@Caleb Reits, I hear you loud and clear..I'm a systems and process guy so I like building a workflow before I ever start pulling the trigger.

HOWEVER, make sure you are 100% ready to buy if an agent brings you something that matches your criteria, because if they do and then you don't buy it, they will likely believe you aren't serious or ready to pull the trigger, and you can almost guarantee they will send that opportunity to somebody else next time. 

Biggest hard pass for me, I look at the partnership buying the real estate deal and how they are set up.   

Hey BP,Just pulled the trigger on my first investment property.

These need to be answered before pulling the trigger. 

I have also seen deals, partnerships, and financial growth in the same mastermind.
