Ultimately you can only hold it down so far and the government will eventually get their money. 

I live in San Diego and am trying to purchase my first investment property I have about 150K to put down but am struggling to find deals that meet my price point. 

I had just mastered the original deal analysis and was getting comfortable analyzing deals.  

Incredibly poor business deal. 

For example, I saw a good deal that needed work.

Since then, we have been dedicating our time to learning as much as possible—reading extensively, analyzing potential deals, and listening to BiggerPockets podcasts.After careful consideration, we decided to sell our current home and rent instead, allowing us greater flexibility as we begin our real estate investment journey.

Quote from @Christian Solis: When looking for private money how do you guys properly present a fix and flip and how do you structure that deal so they are happy with there return on investment ?  

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $87,000 STR What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

We negotiated a deal with the owner for 20% Equity, we are responsible for infilling the community as well as property management (which we also get paid separately for).
