The only thing I would really shy away from is your partnership.

Don't know if they'll pull the trigger but in 5 - 7 years I won't care.

You can invest in a syndicate or partnership here where someone is local.

There are those of us out here making lifelong partnerships, helping families out of impossible situations, creating profits for investors, profits for ourselves, providing for our families, giving to worthy causes, and doing it all ethically. 

Are you or have you been in a partnership?

We own a property and instead of investing money into repairs we want to partner with someone to manage & fund the rehab, and share in the profit.We are moving forward with someone already, but I am not sure what ...

@William Johnson It's not so much whether the lender cares, but whether they check - though the notary/solicitor registering the contract/caveat may be obligated to inform them.My main point is, you are unlikely to get past the next renewal without pulling the trigger, completing the transaction and financing in your name.  

Many times buyers are new to this and have an idea in their head that might not be rooted in reality.REIT's, and funds with cash are secondary due to the fact they generally do not want a relationship but just things on a deal by deal basis.Third level is partnerships ( family, business associates ) where the people know each other etc.

Perhaps my answer will trigger a response from someone weightier than I in the knowledge department :-)

Adding value to a partnership is key and the partnership can not be weighted to heavy on either side or it does not work.Another option to attract a solid and experienced partner could be to have your father incest in their project with the $100k with the terms that you get to follow along from start to finish on the project.
