I have been looking at out of state investing as my main plan but I would love to partner to have a boots on the ground person. 

What ever it is, Get your strategy working for you, before you get too desperate signing contracts you should not be signing.Hope this helps dude.My advise, step back, redo the numbers as if you do not desperately needed this deal and see if it still looks like a great deal.If so, stand your ground.. it is YOU that shouldn't be budging on your numbers, NOT THEM on theirs!

You need actual steps, that are practical from the perspective of someone that has been in your shoes, that remembers how hard the struggle was, that knows how difficult it was to break through the analysis paralysis phase, that made mistakes, learned from them, and can predict where you will also stumble and fall and give you pointers when and where to be extra careful.So if I have convinced you that I know what I am talking about because I HAVE been there, this is what you do, knowing now what I wish I knew then.GET A WEBSITE! 

Just broke ground on the new Amazon distribution center, new growth for Mercedes, Toyota and Mazda.

When the ground breaking (finally) happens I think we will see it take off. 

Class B from what I am told. 5 ground retail/office with 10 apartments above.  

Other than that look for other ways to make money (side hustles) and put that money aside to help you get your real estate investing off the ground.

I am looking to be boots on the ground for someone who wants to invest here.

I have studied the market, I have contacts on the ground and it's one of my preferred markets in Latin America.

That said, I think we need to bypass that phase and get into commercial MFH out of the gate here so long as we approach it correctly.
