I would also like to reach out to investment partners if possible.I have wanted to get involved with real estate for several years now, but life happened. 

Thanks to all involved.

Listening to the BP Podcasts is a great first step.Only way I would involve my primary residence house on a flip is to partner with someone experienced and successful.

Even then you run the risk of the appearance of a conflict, and the resulting potential lawsuit.The conflict arises because of the different legal roles of an agent and a principal.  

Essentially, you'd be taking some of the risk out of the deal if I, as an investor, can come in and see things more clearly.If nothing else, a few hundred to a few thousand dollars of cleanup work is done.

Investors generally want to pay for direct labor and direct materials and not pay for the contractor risk (OSHA, aebestos, LNI, litigation, construction defect risk management, lead based paint, surprises, injuries, etc.) 

It all depends on your time and risk tolerance.

What kind of commercial are you involved in?

In two years that 600k could have earned $61500 in a pretty conservative investment or $126k in a full market risk index or account(major index). 

If you invest with less than 20% down, you're taking on additional risk.
