When there's a will, there's a way...@Collwyn Cleveland....
You might have to start a direct mail campaign, find a motivated seller,build a relationship with the seller... get it under contract...If you find a great deal and find partners or just present it to investors your end of the bargain might be that you have to help manage the property, you get very little cash flow, no equity, but you get to live rent free...the investors or partners keep almost all cash flow, all equity...maybe even draw up some other rules that tie you in with the investors outside of the deal, like being responsible for all leg work, sending out more mail to find more deals for them, washing their cars every Sunday lol...get creative...but never say never just because someone hasn't done it or seen it doesn't mean it can't happen. I don't have personal experience on the matter but my mind says "how can it be done" before it says "no..it can't be done" so just be persistent and creative
