I love the properties and the are all profitable.

Welcome to the world of real estate investing!

We have to assume the loans for the homes we each were awarded and remove the other spouse or refinance the loan.

By no means cheap but solid rent + demand, fun place to live, decent inventory (relatively speaking), and is still commutable to the city. 

@Mayur ChaudhariI agree with the other advice.   

I may be misremembering this next part, but I recall one of the RTR podcast episodes where he mentions that RTR keeps all the “10’s” and gives the “9’s, 8’s, and 7’s” to the customers.

Are their any creative ways to help with the downpayment or would a partner be the only route? 

Originally when they were known as FlipOS, they would split up the interest payments,so I would pay the remaining amount for the month the house was purchased and then the remaining balance on the sale of the home to them.  

Since the original loan remains in the seller’s name, you may need a nominee interest allocation to deduct mortgage interest, as the Form 1098 will likely be issued to the seller.

Purchase price: $107,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Sale price: $280,000 Sourced an off market fix & flip deal in the western suburbs of Atlanta near an area where I knew an Amazon facility was being constructed and buyer demand would pick up.
