Build a Strong Team:Surround yourself with a reliable team, including a real estate agent, contractor, property manager, and accountant.

I have been working with investors, wholesalers and realtors for the past 3 years providing different services for them like list generation, cold calling, lead management and closing.

I'm pretty active in the NYC boroughs as a broker, investor, & property manager - happy to give you my $0.02 if you're still looking thanks. 

That interpretation may be the policy and what Senior management are directing, but being clearly specified in the code vs. a policy/interpretation can have two different ways of resolving it.

Even under this scenario, with a 50/50 split, you will not be getting paid for doing all the work.Another option would be for you to put in 50% of the purchase price using an LLC that you own 100%, borrow the remaining 50% from your investor as a 2nd position loan at a fair interest rate with points, and borrow the rehab under your personal guarantee.Better, if you can find a lender who will lend to a newbie, and they are out there, you could borrow the purchase money using some of your cash as a down payment, as well as all the rehab funds using a construction loan.
