I have experience in this field as my 9-5 is w/ non-profit that works w/ in the social services field.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

Then, with the end of year bonus I would like to use that as a down payment to buy a single family home near my parents in Atlanta.

make sure you have cash reserves. as soon as you sign, you could give them a 60 day notice of rent increases. documentation of the owners lease agreements with each tenant & rental payment history. you could sign a 6 month lease with everyone to see how things go. licensed & bonded contractors, someone who can take accountability- you can send an email too if something goes wrong (the boss).

Even under this scenario, with a 50/50 split, you will not be getting paid for doing all the work.Another option would be for you to put in 50% of the purchase price using an LLC that you own 100%, borrow the remaining 50% from your investor as a 2nd position loan at a fair interest rate with points, and borrow the rehab under your personal guarantee.Better, if you can find a lender who will lend to a newbie, and they are out there, you could borrow the purchase money using some of your cash as a down payment, as well as all the rehab funds using a construction loan.

If the seller will entertain it you write it into your offer - what you're willing to pay total, loan term, interest rate, down payment. 

Most truly individual private money lenders don't love construction for a number of reasons: - Time horizon on these projects is too long and the project itself highly speculative - Most construction loans are non-dutch, meaning you pay only on what funds are released and PMLs don't like having to earmark additional funds that aren't deployed and aren't earning a monthly interest on

It's $50 for owners individually, $85 for non owners. 

If you're applying for a Conventional/FHA/VA/ or USDA loan, then they will do a "global cash flow" where they take into account your PITI (Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance (hazard and flood) on all properties (second mortgages included), HOA payments, car payments, student loan payments, credit card payments, and installment loan payments in the numerator and your gross income in the denominator.

(I think proper due diligence would catch all the non paying tenants) as an LP I don't know how to check if that was done.
