If it is not in by the 10th - no ifs, and or buts, I will post a three day notice.

With that being said and your post requesting a focus on partnerships, here are a few things to consider as you move forward.1) Do you need a partner - or are you simply looking for accessible forms of investment capital that will allow you to acquire properties with minimal hassles, given the underwriting requirements of most institutional/Fannie Mae lenders. 

They might loan out of their own money instead of Fannie/Freddie guidelines. 

Take advantage of the cheap Fannie and Fredie money for your first 10 loans.

If there are any terms you don't understand, like waiver of notice and presentment, just google them, such are standard terms. 

We then went to the lender and brought a new quote from a different contractor and the lender said that the loan was going to have to go back to the front of the line in underwriting and we were nearing the Fannie Mae Homepath deadline for closing. 

I noticed my neighbor duplex did this and pays a higher property tax than me despite being exact same floor plan, age, and builder as mine. 

If you don't, it's possible to get one with a brace and install it through the existing hole in the drywall; you don't *have* to go into the attic or tear up the ceiling.Whenever I am in the local Habitat ReStore, I notice that they have a few fans, but they always have several sets of glass shades for the lights. 

Several weeks later I finally opened up one of my emails containing my keyword alerts and noticed I had messages from people in the BP community. 

I've noticed that there are a several LO deals advertised in my local MLS, so I don't think there's any worry about "triggering" anything.
