Trading services to get into a deal?

[BJ Dante]

So this is sort of a two part question and I’m a little overwhelmed honestly at the amount of information on BP. I had done a simple search online about how to get into fix and flip with little to no money down and the first thing that popped up was a thread on the BP forums. A gentleman listed 10 ways that have actually been used to make a deal work. One of them was to offer to trade services like carpentry, auto mechanics, dental work, etc. So my two part question is as follows: Does anyone no if someone has actually negotiated their services to cover the down payment? Secondly, does anyone no I’ve someone offering their services in lieu of their capital investment in say a partnership to buy and fix and flip a house? This may seem like an odd question but I’m wondering if that’s something I should pursue since capital is my issue. Again, I’m very new to all of this so if it seems like a dumb questions it’s because you could say I’m dumb in all of this : ) Thanks!
