My question is if this is as good as it gets and I should be happy to grab this deal or is the profit too thin and I should pass and keep shopping.

In this situation, while it is smart to cut costs to maximize profits, it's important to see the bigger picture.

I’m focused more on education and taking the right steps as I start my real estate career which is why I’m looking for an experienced Wholesaler / Investor to help me learn and give guidance in exchange for 50% profit on first couple deals until I’m on my feet.

I see people post profits on here, better than most jobs, but as far as everything included not much at all.

Is it easy to find investors for these kind of funds, could specializing in sponsoring these kind of deals be a profitable business?

Will he be paid strictly a percentage of the profits or will he be paid for the work done too?

ARV gives you a nice profit. 

Sometimes more important than the initial % is the direction up or down and why these initial percentages are not reliable indicators of future profits or taught in formal university settings, nor found in any textbooks etc.

You’d have to share some profits but if that’s your last option and they just get a piece of the pie for sharing their name on the mortgage with you, then that’s a win win for both parties.
