Does anyone have any insight into what these types of businesses are typically looking for in a partner and what I should be doing to make my space a good fit for them? 

Rent we collect is typically 30-50% higher than market average.

Expect rates to be higher than "typical" financing programs - right now, I'd plan for at least 8%+ depending on the whole scenario. 

Typically speaking their correlated more with the equity markets then the real estate market.

As a side note typically I do not use my deferred tax dollars to invest in traditional real estate as the benefits (depreciation etc) are all lost when using a self directed IRA - My guess is build to rent will provide little to no cash flow to build the account - it will all be locked in the property. 

Then laws changed and SSN's became our IDs and we could no longer typically ask for them in my area as a landlord.

Again, I do not know how multi-party investments are typically structured and I'm very much looking to find out!

However, the road block I face is getting to a point where I think it’s an “ok” deal (meaning it’s not fulfilling the 1% rule, but more like 0.75% and little to no immediate renovation cost/typically a new build townhome) and then I start to question whether I could find a BETTER deal if I just keep looking.

Here are some of its vitals:- Zestimate: $345K (I know this is typically 10% or so high)- Last Sold: 8/2021 for $281K- Roughly 1400 sqft- Some cosmetic work needed- $25K left on solar loan- The home was build in 2004 and it looks like it has the original AC unit, so I am assuming that needs to be replaced too. - 2 story house with very small rooms and and 2 steps down, imminently as you enter the front door.- Gated community and in a reasonable HOA. - The home is 2 payments behind and already got a letter from the lender about future foreclose.

I know when you make an offer you typically specify how you plan on funding the deal.
