You need another pair of eyes who has contacts, knows the local market and can advise what to repair and what to leave alone.

thanks Hi Ezekiel,[1]  Maybe try not looking for someone with "Capital" but look for someone with "Cash to Invest along with you"[2]  The "Gain Experience" Not Much Money of my Own" pairing might be a red flag to a lot of more experienced investors.So try to have some Cash Money of your own, (skin in the game money), work a 2nd job, get a part time temp job, drive Uber Eats, drive Uber, etc... until you get $35,000 or so investment cash.That might make people have more confidence in you when you find them. 

Our grand master plan is to 1031 exchange two of our rental properties into a pair of retirement homes.

im a millionaire ands my every day drivers are a pair of 10 year old crown vics I bought at police auction.

When I catch a pair, a new pair moves in.

I would also be very interested to know as this would be a great tool to pair with one of the online auction sites.

They showed me a couple of pairs of shoes and a jacket that had something on it.

So now comes a company trying to make money by trying to pair people with good credit and people with poor credit....legitimately, by taking advantage of this loophole.  

A seller carried note, in this case, is an opportunity for her to supplement her retirement income.I'm going to sandbox here, obviously it's unlikely you will do exactly this, but it's a starting place:If you want to play the long game, and are yourself young enough to do so, you could pair the seller carried note with peppercorn rent specified in a lease of $1/mo that lasts until she dies.

@Vincent Gizzi,I say ride it out, and if they break-- go on CL and get a new pair for a few hundred bucks.
