See if you can structure a partnership with a relative or friend that puts the least amount of risk on them and gives them the highest reward.  

This takes time but the rewards are worth it. 

More risk, but properly managed, more reward in terms of cash flow.  

The short term risk is higher but so is the reward. 

The investor should be informed of all of risks as well as potential rewards.

My investment might be worth $10K at the moment.I bought some ARBA stock not long before the dot com crash.  99% loss.That's just a sampling.Without risk, there's no reward. 

Hopefully if you end up selling next year when the weather thaws you'll have had tenants paying your mortgage and maybe a little appreciation to reward you for your patience.One thing to keep your costs low, which I'm guessing you already have thought of, is to make sure you keep up on the maintenance.

Thank you for sharing and a sincere congratulations on the reward of all your hard work.  

My background is in law enforcement, firefighting, and collateral recovery and NOTHING compares to this field, it's so addictive and rewarding and heartbreaking all at the same time.

You can only go up from there.. that means take so much risk because the reward will be so good that it will be worth your time.
