Would love to partner with someone but I don't have much to bring to the table yet besides a heads up on this deal.

However, I am struggling to figure out the best approach for financing, if I do not have all the capital traditionally required for a down payment.If I decide to go with a lender, am I really going to have to come to the table with at least 20-25% down?

What if both parties bring funding to the table, how are you splitting the profits at that point?

The only thing that would concern me would the time table; would the city give me time to make repairs prior to enforcing the fines, calling me in to herring etc...Thank you in advance

Active investors will not invest time in teaching / mentoring / coaching you for free...you must bring something to the table because active investors have little time available and they simply can't give it away without gaining something in return.

You will not be effective trying to pitch a sale at the front door so I'd do whatever it take to get invited inside and try to sit at kitchen table.

As landlords, do we risk listing too low and leaving money on the table, and creating a feeding frenzy around our unit?

I'd love the family to bring cash to the table, but I doubt that will happen.
