I have seen some interesting posts like:How do you approach your first investor for seed capitalOrHow do I invest in real estate in my 20sAre there any other forums you found like bigger pockets or is the best and only serious one on the web?

I tend to see every flaw and want to make it how I want it when I think most people would never notice (probably just answered my own question just now haha).Should I re seed my lawn before I rent the place?

Despite what anyone is doing, has said, or experienced because results may vary. " With every adversity, grows the seed of a greater success" -Napoleon Hill ( available in audio as well).Giving up is not an option, so replace it with another option.

I have done it before but I had enough cash to purchase, rehab and hold the property until rented and then wait 6 months to refinance, get most of my initial investment out minus the repairs and use that seed money again to buy another. 

@Drew Shirley@Jess HewittThanks for your input regarding the structure of my partnership.After some discussion with my partner we came up with another partner agreement in which I would be able to protect myself more.I would provide the seed capital; the mortgage will be on both our names. we will then transfer the property into a LLC.

The teeny-weeny back yard needs cleaning up  and seeding for a lawn and I'm told I can't even do that.

If you can qualify to buy your own home, buy a fixer-upper in a nicer neighborhood, live in it for 2 years while fixing it up, then sell, Up to $500,000 of the profits will be tax free for a married couple, giving you your seed money to invest in the future.  

That being said, it never hurts to seed the appraiser with some comps and even a number you're looking for.

Whatever your seed capitol is, bank the interest payments in a segregated account.

Our HELOC, borrowing from the equity of our primary home, has gone far to seed our 6, multi-family properties.
