One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.

Would definitely recommend finding a partner who can help walk you through this if you decide to move ahead. 

Specifically:Licensed and Insured Contractors:Strong experience in fix-and-flip projects is preferred.Proven track record for meeting deadlines and staying within budget.Interested in building a long-term working relationship.Real Estate Agents:Knowledgeable about properties in Chattanooga and surrounding areas.Skilled in identifying high ROI opportunities for fix-and-flip projects.Open to partnering with an investor for repeat business.If you or someone you know is a great fit, please comment below or send me a direct message.

At the time of the cancellations, I found myself owning over 20 properties in partnership with various investors and joint venture partners.

I want to use this forum to meet other real estate professionals (experienced and newbies) and hopefully find business partners.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

However, if you partner with the right one, they will be instrumental to your real estate growth.As @Angie Keefe mentioned, your bookkeeper needs to specialize in Real Estate or thoroughly understand the industry because it is very balance sheet-heavy.

Whether you spend time networking, reading books, watching videos or connecting on bigger pockets or if you spend cash hiring a mentor, maybe partnering up with or doing free intern work for a real estate investor; whichever route you decide to go investing in yourself is one of the best investments you can make. 

And you now have to file three tax returns:- partnership tax return- your individual tax return reporting 1/2 of the partnership losses- your partner's individual tax return reporting their 1/2 of the partnership lossesAnd while partnership return can be DIY-ed, it probably should not be.

I don’t know when an LLC starts to pay off if you don’t have any partners.
