What’s the best way for a new LP to vet potential managing partners?

I've got about 7k in an emergency savings account.I am in the process of getting several mortgage pre-approvals to compare fees and get an idea of how much home I can realistically afford.I have yet to find a buyer's agent/investor to help me identify potential homes but will start on that shortly.Ideally, I would like to buy a single family home.

There are outlier circumstances and big-picture strategies that could potentially apply; but that's why they need to talk to someone about their specific situation. 

If you're open to $120-180k, I would recommend looking into Columbus Ohio as it does have much better growth and appreciation potential than Cleveland and Dayton. 

In your proposed case you would be compounding this negative position by taking away the best source of financing for a large percentage of potential buyers.  

What are the key risks or potential pitfalls in this strategy?

Usually that means that they have hard assets that can be liened and potentially sold to pay off the debt.

Conducting a thorough property inspection or consulting a contractor can help identify potential large-ticket items you might need to replace soon.For make-ready costs, you can look at local averages for common turnover tasks like repainting, carpet cleaning, or minor repairs.
