To try to get someone with higher end resources on board there vs all the other way better areas will always be a challenge in our lifetimes.

I currently have an investor, a project manager, and a contractor on board we just need the deals and that is what I am bringing to the table.

Well I feel like I made full circle and I’m back to wanting to jump into real estate and she is on board this time around and I just finished Brandon’s book finally!

At least a contractor, and property manager if you're using one, the lender is also very importantIf using hard money be very careful, and I recommend finding a traditional lender to refinance you out of the property in the future and make sure they are on board with what you are doing before you make an offer.

Not sure I'm quite on board with her plan bc that forever home isn't bringing me monthly cash flow, but we have 5 years to show the benefits of hacking 😄. 

We now have a solid JV partner on board offering up to 90% of the remaining balance.

We ended up doing just fine and now my wife is 110% on board with this.

Great line of thinking and I can definitely get on board with the "niche marketing".An obvious one (or maybe not so obvious to those who don't live here) in Nashville are bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Guarantee her your financial security and she will get on board. 

The borrower and the asset itself.Borrower:Your credit (are you a trustworthy borrower), are you capitalized enough to float this project/ cover the debt, track record (borrower/ contractors experience).Asset:Comps (as-is & ARV), LTV metrics (lender can help verify these if you have questions), detailed budget and scope of work, tentative schedule, exit strategy.Of course any lender/ partner will dive in a little deeper after the initial pitch but if you have all of the above ready for your initial conversation it will go a long way in getting deals approved/ partners on board.
