As I keep saying, even today I live in a commercial with my wife, two children and we have zero furniture with the exception of office desks, mattress sets and a few tables.

My goal was to buy properties all cash and take the risk of being over-leverage off the table.

Typically land value is around 20% of the value of property once finished, maybe you could bring the land to the table for a share of the proceeds.

Another thing you could consider, is maybe your buddy brings 75% of the down payment/rehab costs to the table and you cover the remaining 25%.

My mom raised 3 boys as a single mom and she did a great job and worked super hard to always make sure we had food on the table and from her, I inherited her phenomenal work ethic but little education on how money works (I don't blame her one bit, just to make that clear, she did more than I think that I am even capable of on her own and having to deal with 3 knuckleheads the entire time).

I would like to work with someone to either purchase a duplex or work with someone on a deal on a multi-unit property in Georgia.What can I bring to the table? 

The table was filled with individuals taking massive action and getting deals done and I made some valuable and invaluable connections from that lunch alone that will hopefully turn into partnerships.

What I brought to the table.....

I would like to do the Reno personally, however my partner in this property is happy with what we would net about 300k each if we sold immediately based on the 1.3M offer on the table now and feels as though we have won, because we picked up the property @ 525k in 2006.

Gather a network near you, and find out what everyone brings to the table.
