And it doesn’t end in closing the deal; it's the beginning of an extraordinary transformation to come with a full renovation and redesign!

The hard money loan interest rates scared me, renovations were going to go over, ARVs probably overestimated, got out of it.

Easier to do with a duplex year by year, but when I rented to students I would quickly renovate for winter break. 

Pick one that is improving, homes being renovated and flipped, vacant storefronts being turned into cool coffee shops etc.Good luck.

To structure a partnership, consider forming an LLC where you handle property management, renovations, and operations, while the investor provides the down payment.

@Shiloh Lundahl Understood, but I wouldn't refer to buying and renovating $250k SFH's with hard money financing unconventional real estate investing.

You must not follow your instinct and attempt to invest as little as possible into the renovations thinking "If someone is willing to live in this neighborhood there is no way they have standards". 

I am swamped right now with my rental renovations & furnishings I am finishing up plus I typically work late, so I haven't been able to make it much lately.

Only an investment team can provide the crucial local knowledge you need.Moreover, you'll need various resources to find, validate, inspect, renovate, and manage a property.

Are you renovating your kitchen?
