The original idea was to house-hack using an FHA loan in addition to a down payment assistance program offered in my area.

No issues like having to foreclose and nothing that required additional funds from IRA.Now I’ve been presented with a different investment - new for me.The JV partner already owns the property and has been rehabbed and currently has a renter.

Sounds like you know a bit about creative deal structuring which is a major addition to one's toolkit.

In addition to her, I know of a bookkeeper in Woodstock who has worked with a few other realtors who may be what you're looking for. 

So, in this case you’d pay $185 to $190k, which would require you to make an additional down payment of $5-$10k.

Being able to adapt to be able to communicate with people of all different backgrounds, ages and personalities is critical. 

Any help or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Any additional info they mail to me or drop it off at the rental.

I focus mainly on fix and flip type deals, but do a small amount of wholesaling also in addition to some new construction and buy and hold.

I have been actively seeking another rental in the area, but all my offers keep coming up short and would like to network and maybe work with a local flipper on a property to gain additional experience.
