This knowledge is essential Assuming you source a good deal (with multiple potential exit strategies), I would then bring in a capital partner to fund the down payment or Property acquisition…and get some sort of sweat equity (depending on your experience and value brought to table) and then invest the $10,000 you do have into the deal itself to add your stake, add some skin to the game and align your interest with your capital partner.

I'm in MD in a rural county and have run into this kind of situation before.

Based on these circumstances, and also just in general, I'm wondering how investor-friendly agents out there approach sellers that have a home that is too overpriced for a fix-and-flip situation? 

a bit of a haul for you but really great networking.https://www.instagram.com/broketofi_events/I'll be there - I invest in Butler and Allegheny - and there may be others who invest in multiple counties.

I've thought of 3 different approaches - 1. co-borrow...multiple parties on deed, entitled to % rent & depreciation based on investment, have "access" to property2. co-sign...multiple parties not on deed, negotiate % rent & depreciation based on investment, no legal access to property3. side-deal...parties gifts the down payment, operator must qualify for loan, all other details TBDAre there more approaches/options?
