Until I'm ready to do conventional financing with my own capital, how would it be possible to structure a deal with a third party private money investor (or their IRA) so that they contribute the DP and it still makes sense for everyone?

(I would stop the contribution and be paying back the loan over a period of 2 years and my paycheck would actually go up, but in 2 years as things are now I'm probably putting 20k into my 401K that I would no longer be doing, so when the loan is paid off I'd just end up with the amount that is in there right now).The cash flow will be more than enough to pay back the HELOC and the 401K loan in 2 years but is this a good use of my money?
