I just want to explain my circumstances and see how people with experience and knowledge in real estate would move forward if they were in my shoes.

If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

We've struggled with Quickbooks for the last several years (and before that I literally had a shoe box with receipts in it).
