Hi Derek,Our team has a couple contacts, will share with you in private message.

Finding a private investor that will assist is harder than expected.

I have private money lender to finance 10% of my down payment and I am paying other 10% down. 

My biggest recommendation on location is to invest local and you are already planning that.  

I'm no expert on this topic, BUT, I know in Oregon the law is written so that the only legal place to smoke is in a private home, which could obviously have an impact on a rental property.

I do believe they are entitled to it since they are unlocking the land's potential, but my biggest concern was how little the proportion of the split is.

Here in NY I can't even get one house under contract, so I am not worried about getting 3-5 going.With that said, my biggest hang up was the fact that the deals I found would have been less appealing deals when factoring the loan fees and costs.

The bank is the biggest headache of all in most RE endeavors. 

My biggest drawback however is how do I get paid  after the deal is all said and done ? 

One of the biggest differences is the types of homes.
