Put them on as a minority member of your business entity/ LLC and you'll have no problem using their funds with just about any lenders.

Currently getting my real estate license to help me out on investing.

I invest in OOS properties so just curious on what the benefit would be.

I have been investing in the central Pennsylvania market since 2016, mostly focused on Harrisburg, PA (midtown, uptown and the suburbs), Carlisle, PA and surrounding areas.  

+1 on @Andrew Steffens.

I've wanted a ratio of faster cash flow (60% of portfolio goal) + more appreciation (40% of portfolio goal) and have been stuck on the "how do I find partners to help with capital down payments/investments?"

On the other hand, some new stuff is superior.

The fact you bought down rates on your last mortgage has no affect on a new mortgage, even if it is from the same lender. 

We specialize in remodels in the North Lake Tahoe area and rarely take on projects in Truckee. 

Based on what I see in the forums, cash flow markets are the hottest topic.
