Trying to Find a Partner. . .

[Craig Kleffman]

Hi, 

I've always been comfortable in partnerships.  And, since I know I can't do it all myself, I'd love to share the work.  But, have had little luck in getting a successful partnership going so far. I started one joint venture - but it looks like we're going to part ways.  (Despite the promise of work, effort, and $ to spend, looks like we may end up short on some or all of those categories. . . ).  

How have the rest of you found partners?  People who can help you learn the ropes to either generate properties that are distressed and can be used as a vehicle for flipping?  Or, People who can help you learn the art of marketing to distressed homeowners to generate a wholesale operation.  To date, I've had little success despite multiple posts and many calls to those who are placing bandit signs in the community.  

I'm happy to hear the common lament, that the harder one works the luckier one gets.  But, if there's some tip/trick anyhone cares to share - I'd love to hear that too.  (OK, and some war stories, good, bad, indifferent are also fine).
