I typically have a really good relationship with my tenants.

@Kevin Sobilo From networking and asking around I have found out that the Broker has a personal relationship with the buyer.

From there I want to keep purchasing rentals until it’s time for me and the gf to move toward in our relationship and purchase a home together at some point.

They have relationships with different vendors and get me estimates.  

I have spoke with a few who are interested in ReFi and want to build relationships.

We're a group of friends who trust each other and want to keep our friendship and business relationships intact.

Especially w first few deals, the sweat-equity partner may only contribute 30% of value, so 30-70 is the arrangement, especially if it's a short-term JV...I think we hear the 50-50 talk from established investors who have built a long-term relationship w investor-partners.Yes, we could get into the minutiae of tracking the dollar-value the "worker" brings to the table over time, which I guess is the spirit of the "mini-mortgage" approach: Estimate the value of their sourced-deal if wholesaled; set an hourly wage for office-work/time spent renovating; charge a leasing fee for tenant placement and 10% of rent or whatever each month for PM moving forward... 

The best thing you can do is though is try to build relationships with some local brokers.

Do you have experience doing build outs like this and a track record, or a relationship with a bank?
