Now I am brand new to real estate so this could be dumb but I'm reading Brandon Turners "Rental Property Investing" book and I was intrigued by chapter 3 where he list out 4 plans to start with when getting into real estate.

If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

Do you not realize that If one software worked, do you think any other software would still be in business?!

In other words, FB marketplace cast offs won't be the best fit unless you're lucky enough to come by some Pottery Barn or West Elm or brands like that. 

Assuming you could take out a couple 100k you would have the buying power to start a cash recycling business (brrring or flipping).

You would build a way better business.

Me personally I look at my rental as a business everything is paid for by rental.

@Avani PatelFor my flipping business, I prefer to use fewer software programs to streamline things.

I’m looking to get started in the fix-and-flip business and have a few questions.

I certainly don't want to get into the business of being a "bottom feeder" that takes advantage of people, but if there is space in the industry for someone to help people in your situation while making a fair profit, I wouldn't mind learning more and getting involved.If interested, message me.
