If you have a killer deal, would you have trouble finding investors?

Self limiting thoughts and feelings of doubt are dream killers for all of us. 

If you have a killer deal, you could bring in a capital partner to get you to 'pass' net worth or capital needs for an equity position.

We are not looking for killer deals either and we mostly buy from the MLS.  

We also own and run a coffee shop locally.As you know, our market isn't the cheapest :) so we've been "window shopping" all around Oregon and Washington to get an idea of up and coming or steady markets elsewhere as well as looking for killer deals in our area.

This market seems pretty hot right now all over the place, so I'm keeping in mind that there may not be any killer deals like when people did this in 2010.

However, I'm worried paying a third party may be a cash flow killer and I also am concerned that depending on someone else's judgement or taking them at their word that they are doing something correctly could be a problem long term.

There are other details to this story, but the bottom line is, unless you find a killer off market deal where the seller is willing to wait for your FHA loan to underwrite and perhaps fall through, you may have better luck with a duplex. 

You will learn as you go and will better understand the true impact of vacancies (a major expense that can become a killer if you procrastinate completing repairs, turnovers, and placing tenants), maintenance, legal/court costs (poor tenant screening will increase those expenses).
