The terms that you agree upon are obviously negotiable, but if you're willing to take a small piece of the profit in exchange for sharing your knowledge and guiding someone through the rehab process, that may be a way for you to build your cash reserves.If you take a big picture view and are able to use what you have (knowledge) to help others be successful, you'll be able to get what you want (extra income).I think you'll find that if you take this approach, you'll be in a buying position quite quickly.Best of luck!
