And most of my lenders would prefer to lend shorter-term for my flips than longer-term for buy-and-hold (that said, anyone who wants to lend short- or long-term, feel free to let me know :).But, to answer your specific question above, if the person doing the work weren't experienced and/or didn't have access to cheap capital, a partnership could potentially generate much better returns than borrowing at high-interest rates.For example, assume that you purchase a property with little equity (you couldn't easily resell it for a profit) but that throws off about 25% per year in cash flow (cash-on-cash return).

So many BP members were talking to realtors about property, establishing relationships and talking to prospective lenders, reading real estate information, developing or studying social media access, and working with new investors/clients, etc.It is interesting that all of us are able to extend our options in all of these items just by attending the BP seminar next month, yet so few have decided to do that.
