Should I sell my home or partner with an investor on a BRRR

Should I sell my home or partner with an investor on a BRRR

Greetings everyone. I am brand new to this world and my new knowledge is coming at a critical transition point in my life. I bought a house in North Ogden, Utah about three years ago. I owe around $290,000 and the house is valued somewhere around $450,000. Due to a partial loss of income I can no longer afford the payments. My original plan was to sell, take the profit and move to Wichita, KS. (I am a disabled Vet and live on my disability so I am not tied to a job here.) We want to live on a hobby farm out of town and were thinking of buying land at auction and building. I also want to rebuild my credit and start investing in properties as soon as possible. With what I know now, I believe the best option would be to do a BRRR (with the exception that the property already has an assumable mortgage in place) as the rental income would be excellent (I believe it would currently bring$2500/month and will only get better. My challenges are these:

1. Due to the aforementioned loss of income my credit score is in the "poor" region so I cannot get a lender to do a refi.

2. I don't have any available cash to cover moving, and starting over costs.

3. There are a few relatively minor repairs that need to be made to get top dollar for the house and I lack the funds to fix them.

I don't know what  percentage of partnership I should even be asking for, although I imagine it would depend partly on how much equity I take out at the beginning.

I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on my situation. Thank you all.

    @Richard F Williams if your goal is to move to Kansas why don’t you just list the house in Utah with a good agent with a repair allowance to the buyer and sell for as much as you can. Take the proceeds from the sale of the property and buy in Kansas, if you have that much equity in your current home that will go a long way here in Kansas buying something new.
