You may be better served fixing your credit rather than involving an equity partner at this early stage of your investing career.  

I live outside the USA so that my money stretches further, I have better food, better lifestyle and I am out of the rat race in the USA.

I believe most investors are better served hitting singles locally than swinging for the fences (and usually missing) in outside markets they don't know and with far less control over the day to day functions.

I manage my own property in Virginia, and my tenant asked me to replace the oven because it's burning food.

You'll be better served by just setting cash aside earning 5% and looking to refinance later on.

If the plumbing and fixtures are what they should be, I've found that 100% recycled TP such as Seventh Generation or Whole Foods brand flushes much more easily than the regular brands.

Thank you Mike - we've certainly been a bit conservative lately on the bridge front, which has served us well as a lot of competitors have stretched and gotten into trouble, planning on cautiously but smartly expanding and improving on the bridge front soon

but, that's myself and you'd be best served digging through things to come up with your own because the journey alone will give great knowledge and insights to better understand the "machine" of it all. 

@Ivana Ivanovic you appear to have a good grasp on your own diligence process which will serve you well.
