Hello Pat,When seeking someone to partner with on this, I'd recommend sharing how much you plan on investing into the deal yourself.

I would be like, "Listen, I'm sorry this isn't working out with all this noise, and if this noise is a deal breaker we are ok with you moving out early to find a quieter place." 

Better yet is to buy well so you can pull as much of your own money out as soon as possible to replenish your reserves and have dry powder to put to work for the next deal.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Would it be worth it to deal with it not cash flowing for 5 years and then sell it?

I don't personally deal with this issue with my postings, but I usually use a website called roomies.com and that is for people who are only looking for rooms, so I don't tend to get too much push back on that.

It runs the fourth Tuesday of every month and is an excellent chance to network with other investors.

Many of us, including myself, have faced losses with crumbling deals.

I started out with a smaller deal to reduce the overall risk just in case since I still wasn't 100% trusting.

Makes me wonder why more of them aren't making proper efforts to educate themselves on value and instead think that a house selling for say $250K is a great deal because it is much cheaper than houses where they are from.
