We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I don't know how to make this happen but the numbers work well, so I'm looking for creative advice/equity partners/private money/hard money  for how to make this happen, and then when my business sells I can pay back the loan and find financing at that point to continue the rehab.

Sorry to be blunt, but you and your wife/partner are TOO CUTE.
