I have not had a situation yet where i didn't end up getting the funding i needed to close a deal. 

It's not impossible in my mind for your current situation.

It was a little stressful as we were footing the bill for the mortgage ourselves for a month or two more than we would have liked, but there lies another benefit of going in with a partner to spread out risk and financials.  

I am taking a guess and I will say the area is "C" class.Hopefully that helps you understand my situation a little better now. 

If you are looking more Overland Park, Lenexa KS with home values of 300+ then Home Rental Services, Inc seems to do well in those situations.

@Michael Bacile I was in a similar situation.

If you do a proper "live in flip" you can potentially avoid paying capital gains tax if you own and live in the property for 2 years.Also in the situation you suggested - you want to pay money out to someone before you pay taxes...otherwise it will get taxed twice. once by you and then by the investor.

People are people, and when under stress and Duress they can resort to primitive tactics.

You might be the educator in this situation. 

Mortgage would likely be ~$1,150.Is there a step or path you would suggest that could align our investment goals with our living situation?
