We also plan on partnering with a friend to help with initial investment, cosmetic rehab (we plan to do the work ourselves and are not looking to knock down walls or anything major), splitting property management responsibilities, etc.I am hoping the community can help me out with some questions that I am still trying to tackle.1)  I am struggling with the financing aspect of acquiring a loan with a partnership.  

Word of mouth, marketing yourself every day on all platforms, have a good CRM to maintain everything, open houses, knock on local neighbor doors and facebook.  

I found a property manager and have rented it ever since with no problem keeping a tenant in it so far (knock on wood).

The house is a knock down on .3 acres in a prime location (12 min walk to NYC train) where a 4BR/3BA new construction will have an ARV of $950-975K (I have a modular builder to partner with).  

Here from South Africa I have no option but to take the knock or the windfall as they happen.

Knock a few thousand off to give you negotiating room and make an offer.
