I have been looking to partner up but I'm not sure how comfortable I feel unless its a experienced investor.

I'm also in this low income space, a B/C neighborhood where I feel comfortable during the day.  

If you werent comfortable​ you should have moved along without wasting additional​ time on pointless​ negotiating​.

Hire a pro and learn a lesson if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

If you accounted conservatively for all your expenses and you are comfortable in that neighborhood it may be worth it.

These properties tend to come up most often, but its out of my comfort zone.    

Figure out what lease options are practical for you given your resources and offer those, ie, if it's not practical for you to offer a build-to-suit, then don't.Like William mentioned, being comfortable looking over financials will be key in figuring out whether to lease or not.

If you still feel comfortable with those assumptions then the question becomes how comfortable do you feel that the sponsor is experienced and skilled enough to make those assumptions come true.In general you want someone who's going to be conservative with their numbers, someone who is going to under promise and over deliver.  

With my skill set I feel comfortable doing any job that isn't structural myself.
