Why not offer her a few hundred in a cash for keys deal?   

@Joe Splitrock, good info, I had not thought about additional income from other sources.

Turn-key is preferred but willing to consider a value-add deal. 

Long-term I am looking for a contractor who I can take care of construction, while I focus on sourcing deals and raising capital.  

Here's the biggest needs & what most people are looking for generally speaking:1) Deals2) Private $3) Sponsors/Key principals to go on a loan4) Help underwriting5) Help with research, making phone calls, administrative tasks, etc.So that said- like @Todd Dexheimer mentioned, what is your skill set?  

@David D'Ambrosio, Your 1040 is the key. 

The key is in the lockbox.

If you need referrals for professionals, let me know, though my sources are mostly limited to San Diego.

I wanted to buy a rental property but became discouraged when the bank wouldn't give me a mortgage (they actually wanted me to have a stable source of income lol).

What would be a good source for a list of self storage owners?
