As of last week, our partner has given us $44,000 and additionally we have paid about $49,300 into this project.

I want to spend more time with family while growing my portfolio.

It's a high end property and should be expensive but it's not providing high end amenities that people want when they are spending 3-4x the median home price. 

Do you frequently require subcontract and vendor engagement (lawn care, snow removal, building maintenance, management company etc.) and if so, do you sign contracts and require that you are listed  as additional insured on their insurance policies? 

In 2018, after four years of no reports and membership payments, Vantage IRA sent him a 1099 notice saying that they had distributed the full amount last reported in 2014.Additionally, my friend filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy July of 2014, shortly before his arrest.With this being said, my friend never received the disbursement, Vantage IRA is still the member of the 7 LLC's contained within the account, and the LLC's were never closed.

And he lives right across the street from the project so spends NO money on commute ..

For example, if I wrote off $20,000 of deductible expenses for my property in my personal return and my effective federal tax rate was 25%, then I would expect the see an additional $5,000 (25%) included in my tax rebate for that year.

Additionally in a C+ neighborhood the cost for purchase/rehab will not be appealing when it comes to cashflow. 

This doesn't mean you should be looking at markets such as Detroit and Memphis, because even though it looks good on paper, if they are shady neighborhoods, you are going to spend a considerable amount more on property preservation (broken windows, stolen HVACs, etc.).The easiest way to increase cash flow would be on your existing property.

I have many years of construction experience and have also done a fix and flip, in addition to ground up construction, as well as 10 years of entrepreneurial experience running a paddle board rental company, and advancing science through developing theoretical methods for efficient large scale simulations...I guess my problem is I can't seem to figure out how to find the money to do more projects, which is why I've been trying to sell my house.
