I had a deal in front of me that was going to return 30% and I stared at the sheet and tried to find a reason not to do it.

I have learned quite a bit about residential construction, but I have found that sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen all day isn't doing it for me.

For partner 2, they want to buy a home soon, but do not have money for the down payment, this deal will help them earn $ to use for a down payment on a home after this deal is complete.Partner 1: Will utilize a HELOC loan to cover down payment, holding costs(utilities), rehab costs(estimating $60K-rehab) (estimated total HELOC of $80K-100K, but will have access to about $125K)Will manage the overall project and obtain and manage the contractors and RE agentsIf necessary will also cover mortgage and escrow payments- also holding costsPartner 2:Will obtain loan from bank to purchase home- (can obtain a low down payment 5%, no PMI,)Will pay bank mortgage loan monthly payments (estimated $7K total)Hope this is enough info to get the basic idea, otherwise please ask to help fill in the blanks of anything I may be missing.
