I think it will be interesting to see if buyer's accept that financial responsibility.How does an FHA or VA first time buyer even have the cash to pay a fee to a buyer's agent?

These can be extremely tricky situations to manage.

If someone could help me with my situation of needing to raising capital and how I should go about it I would really appreciate the input. 

Ideally, I'm looking for a general contractor or developer willing to engage in a revenue split arrangement or someone interested in a long-term land lease.Does anyone have advice on how to navigate this situation?

Your investing selections will be influenced by the short- and long-term goals you have set for yourself, such as passive income, wealth accumulation, or financial independence.

If the terms sound too good to be true, something does not feel right, or it’s not right situationally, it make not be legitimate. 

There are many details left out, but to keep it relatively concise that is the gist of the situation. 

On the other hand, if you're looking for a home to purchase, try to find a home that has an FHA loan.This can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers and can result in a win-win situation.

My marriage strained under the pressure, my financial burdens mounted, and the disappointment in my children's eyes mirrored the turmoil within my soul.

@Ferrode Joseph cashflow vs appreciation is really a function of the Property Class you target.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
