I like it when new investors ask for partnerships rather than employment.

The whole time I grew up, I was told, "grow up, go to college and get a good job" or "go to the military because employers value military experience."

But, if the employer already budgeted for 10/hour and the government adds an extra 5/ hr then the business' bottom line is not affected, so therefore the price should not have to raise unless to do so due to "natural" occurring inflation. 

I am terrified not being able to  qualify for refi-cash out for 30 year fixed for exit strategy...I own three properties paid off in cash, high credit,but self employed, income shows issue on paper.Your input on cash out refi, for a newbie, ..

I have bought and sold many properties over the years using craigslist and fsbo sites, however, for this deal I had the bright idea that maybe I do not need to actually buy the property, but maybe there is someone who has already found a good property, has a good self employment situation going so repayment is not an issue, but cannot qualify for bank financing.  

was a 2006 trope of lenders and real estate agents that are now otherwise employed, because (in part) it turns out that 'always' promise was not true. 

Doing pre-employment drug screens. 

@Mikhail LoshkarevYou could get a hard money loan for the initial purchase and rehab and then employ a portfolio loan with no seasoning for your exit strategy and subsequent long term hold.  

Income from interest better than what I can find elsewhere without much risk, financing a home for a self employed person who banks discriminate against, and in case of non primary home taking capital gains over longer time period to reduce current tax liability.  

As a self employed realtor you will have trouble getting a loan for an investment property unless you are extremely established and have great net tax return income over many years.
