Unmarried couple looking to invest together! Help!

[Jazzteena F.]

Hello there! I have been learning REI for the past year. I am pursuing my first fix and flip or rental this year. However I am not in the best position. I am building credit currently and I am unemployed. I am a stay at home mom who babysits during the week. However my fiance works for UPS, makes decent money and just bought a house in November of last year. My partner is onboard with my real estate passion and is very encouraging. Together we probably have $10,000 we could use towards REI however the least the better. I need help using our situation to our advantage and getting our first rental or flip! I have contacted a few private lenders and one hard money. I still have a lot of work to do but I thought I would seek advice. Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you all.
