Even though you may not have a ton of money/credit to offer a mentor/partnership, your contracting skills/knowledge are certainly valuable.

Do you remember how you ended up working these partnership structures?

Don't get caught up in a partnership that both regret later on.You can usually get an apartment cheaper than a house/condo with a lease option.

Immediate family members are exempt from the SAFE Act.Bringing an individual in to fund a deal can have issues, especially thoses who do repeat business or who become lenders by thier activities, but these issues are easily overcome through partnerships or company entities.

With plans to spend billions on foreclosures and to convert single family rentals into a new asset class of securities, well-heeled hedge funds are creating both challenges and opportunities for the individual investors and small partnerships that ignited the residential investing boom.

This is a partnership/ Joint venture.

It seems like a great opportunity for partnerships, etc. , and could be a win/win for both parties.

A partnership or syndication?

Another approach is to make the partnership pitch on the deal and take your fee on the back end, say 7% of the slaes price.

as mentioned above I think there is a difference between looking for a loan and looking for someone to go in to partnership with.
