The properties in Ukrainian Village are very expensive which makes achieving cash flow very difficult. there are plenty other areas in Chicagoland that would help you achieve a healthy cash flow.however if you have your mind set about the area and you are looking for an immediate source for down payment funds I would suggest securing some lines of credit.

And beyond efficiency, I would hesitate to guess how many collective years of experience they have, and I believe that experience is a great asset to investors who want to leverage their capabilities and hopefully get a really healthy return with zero time and effort. 

I am looking forward to this being a long, healthy and productive connection.

A hard money lender will require you to have skin in the game so expect come up with 30% of ARV out of your own pocket.  

That class is outside my wheelhouse but I am giving it a close look.Doug, I'm in Industrial Real Estate in Denver and while our market is very healthy and outside of the norm for the rest of the US, manufacturing is coming back to the US and other factors are increasing warehouse demand. 

I agree with the philosophy of not asking anyone to invest in something you have no skin into or wouldn't invest in yourself, and doing thorough due diligence to minimize risk just like you would if it were 100% your funds, but what you suggest seems fairly extreme to my novice lil' brain.

It's fun when people engage in healthy discussions!

I've been writing loans, buying properties and creating and selling notes in that price range for the last five years and will have some great insight for you if you would like to connect.To answer your question; without skin-in-the-game or a ton of experience, you probably won't find a partner to put up all the cash for each deal.  

Will definitely keep you guys posted, and let me know if I can be of some assistance as an agent, would love to build healthy relationships and gain some referrals along the way if possible!
