Talk to a lender and see what your income qualifies you for and how much cash you need to bring to the table.

If they truly don't have any of the necessary cash to bring to the closing table, I'm not sure what you can realistically do because that's a pretty big difference to make up and it sounds like it'd need to go through the shortsale process.But can they come up with some of it?  

They do cost, but they tend to demand higher rents and have the will to hold out for them (I caved a few times and left a lot of money on the table).

Yes My unit is NOT in the french quarter so 2618 would be very high for it.

If it's not producing great returns and you've got a solid offer on the table I'd definitely consider it.

@Alexander Rotolo, If your current property is performing well then don't put the 1031 on the table. 

I can assist you with getting them to the closing table anywhere in Ohio.  

As for determining on how to split the profits, I would say that should be determined by the amount of work and value that is brought to the table.

Depends on dirt and water table.

We bring quite a bit to the table, just not the experience.Would like to get involved in flips, rentals, even multi-family.I'd also be interested in recommendations for local meet-ups.Brad
