Bringing in experienced partners took a lot of the uncertainty off the table, and let me move on to finding the next deal.I think it's important to realize that no matter what you do, you're not going to get rich off of your first deal.

Right now, obviously, those are off the table but there are still some virtual events going on that can serve the same purpose.

They could cash me out the 200k, I decide to skip paying off the debt as intended and instead, head to Vegas and throw it on black….6 feet away from all other players at the table, of course.

The first thing you need to do is take an objective accounting of what you bring to the table.

Hey @Mark Lovejoy, Can you be more specific with the options on the table?

That's your business call, and I'm not trying to get you to do something do you don't want to do.Let me also comment on your comment about paying more in interest with restarting the amortization table. 

Hi Lamont,I agree with what the others have said, but I remember you saying in another post you were having trouble finding investors.So possibly, as a co-GP in the deal (like a joint venture kind of situation) it might make sense, if it allows you to attract Investor cash to the closing table, or the person is bringing investor cash onboard, but you will still need a deal Sponsor to step up to the plate as Key principal for the loan.

Therefore a traditional FHA or VA Loan is off the table.

What co-workers or other associates do you have, that may be able to your real estate endeavors, and what might they help bring to the table?

Alot of naive investors would still invest but more seasoned ones would probably be more cautious if all you can bring to table is the skill you have.
