They claimed they were tied up with another rehab and couldn't dedicate the time to this house.

If not, there is no issue with you "tying up" a property in a potential deal (get it under contract but leave yourself some due diligence time) and then search for financing.

I usually do a personal post and tie it into my financial freedom journey one day and then do straight real estate or investing posts on the other days.

Some banks will do them without tying them to an asset, but the interest rates will be 8% + Very Risky.

I'd give 6 months on the market and if the house didn't sell my name would come off the title and my remaining share of the profits is forfeit and the house is owned entirely by the money partner.

Use your the remaining portion of your disposable income for your next investment property.You can refinance when the numbers make sense. 

Sometimes its trial and error.Lastly, make SURE, you tie your payment schedule to significant deliverables to make sure the value matches your cash outlay

If the pref is 6% and you invested $100,000, then you would make $6,000/year, then after you make that the remaining profit is split 70/30. 

For example, come current and refinance property #1 while others remain in forbearance and repeat. 

Small time landlords who were ‘managing’ their own properties and did not have reserves to stay afloat during this time and kept putting off all the maintanence items over the years just wanted to get rid of their properties. 6 of my 8 units acquired in the past 6 months were tired landlords and the remaining 2 units were from a friend who owned a property for over a year and did not have time to fix it.
