They could even hire you to do the work on the house and instead of paying you they could just give you a credit at closing.

A partnership requires three things to be successful - Experience, Capital and Time.It looks like you have the capital and experience but maybe not the time.I have my doubts about this working if you have a friend who has weak credit and a limited cash flow.

Local banks and smaller credit unions are most aggressive in this space.

I’ve bought some houses with 0% interest for a year credit cards and a few with consumer lines of credit from banks.

Most of our newer investors approach 2-3 lenders to discuss loan options.Some lenders recommend making your financing inquiries within a 45-day time period to avoid larger drops in your credit scores.All the best!

They are asking for 28% capital call proportional to investment amount. primary purpose of capital call to survive high interest rates for next 1 year and hoping interest rates gets favorable by then.

I also can take out a home equity line of credit on my current home....but I need direction. 

I own the property free and clear and i use the equity as part of my business line of credit.

Do yourself a favor.

I'm in favor of a higher bar before posting but I think it's a minority position.
