Perhaps you had a good gut feeling but went through the wrong leveraging options to purchase. 

My recommendation is to educate yourself first on the basic process before jumping into a JV with someone you've never met.

Two Organizations if you are buying in Philadelphia that a must join;Diversified Investors Group (This REIA is connected to the Greater Philadelphia Market and has 5 Sub Group Meetings in Philadelphia Alone)HAPCO - Philadelphia's Landlord Association Advocate - Landlord Eviction Program, Education and Sourcing where to go and how to do in Philadelphia Landlording.CDC's,  RCO's & or Neighborhood Associations - It is no longer by Zip Code sourcing deals in Philadelphia anymore it is by neighborhood designation.

Amazing how many deals get lost because of poor training, education, and simple Math .

That refinancing deal taught me that if I want to scale and use leverage, I need to do multifamily.

Keep reading and educating yourself. 

Just make sure you have a solid and proven strategy, use as much leverage as possible and calculate the risk before you invest. 

I get calls once a week from lots of online "educators" and "wealth networks" that want to partner with us.
