@Kyle DeboerEveryone is going to want to see some skin in the game.

They also want a priority lien on the property.It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

The further you get into the deal the more skin in the game you end up having so it just makes sure you see the project through so you recoup the time and cash invested. 

This will provide you experience, a story to tell, and the credibility needed for adding additional clients.I'm happy to discuss more.

We're exploring creative ways to provide him with the cash needed for the down payment while avoiding triggering a taxable event.One strategy we're considering is purchasing his future primary residence ourselves, making the mortgage payments, and then, once we've built enough equity—comparable to the appraised value of his rental properties—transferring the title to him as a form of exchange.What are your thoughts on this approach?

This is rarely an issue provided you still perform.The raising money part is more complex.

I already provide 110 electric and gas for a gas appliance.  

@Brice Alef-Torrisi, there's lots of different ways to skin this regarding entity structure and financial account structure.

Has anybody invested with them who can provide some valuable feedback?

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.
