Myself and a friend are looking to get into investing in buying hold single-family homes. She would be putting all the cash down for the property and I'm a contractor and would take care of all of the rehab work along...

Good property management I figure at 10%. 

Finding someone who can offer me better balance is the primary motivator but I figured if someone is going to invest their own capital then they will take their responsibilities more seriously than someone who doesn't or even someone who merely raises from an outsider. 

I would rather not go to multiple lenders trying to figure out who does what if someone on here has had good experience with a particular lender already that does this type of loans.

One of my CFO clients just refinanced 40 of his properties (20 of them are S8) in the Midwest and he cashed out 7 figures!

I'd be happy to get you some rough terms to compare to other options that you have, but I also agree with Jay that you should be wary of just selling and loosing that equity that you've built up in the property.

Once you have figured out the first 2, the last questions will fall into place.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

For some reason I got a notification in this old thread and figured I would chime in.

Just trying to figure out how to best apply it.
