I think you may do well with a partnership vs a syndication.  

The bigger mistake was that the price triggered a much higher tax bill that is killing me.  

I'm curious how you guys would structure the splitting of profits on this specifically, and in general on other scenarios as well.How do you guys structure your partnerships if one person finds the deal, organizes rehab, and the other partner only puts up a portion of the cash?

He has the income to qualify for a loan and I’m 50/50, I’m currently working to lower my DTI ratio (currently around 45%) and I could potentially borrow from a family member but my return to them wouldn’t be immediate (I’m thinking a year or so after I refinance)He is willing to front 100% of the cost but how can we create a partnership that will be mutually beneficial.

I would even be interested in building partnerships to be able to provide you with professional property management services in exchange for owner financing on a suitable unit. 

Yes pulling the trigger and making offers is the hardest thing for me right now but I know it’s the next step!!

The truth is that the vast majority of people just can't (or won't) pull the trigger if they are on their own.

We are also, very open to partnerships if anyone is looking.  

This is where developing partnership and leveraging your network comes into play. 

@Jazmine Mena that’s great your taking action many people talk but never pull the trigger.
