To shorten this story, the wholesaler attempted to negotiate with me to split the deal 50/50 but I knew they had no rights to property.

The listing looks terrific and if fairly priced, there is no reason this house shouldn’t sell.Meet your lender at the house with your partner so they see what you’ve done and then go to lunch.

I'm tossing around the idea of seeing if a JV would want to occupy and we split the return.

@Andrew PostellNo I have not I will look into that on my lunch!

You can split your contributions between Roth and Traditional, you can put $6,000 in either one, but the total you can contribute in a single year is $6,000 period. 

Find someone else who can bring some cash and get on the loan with you, and split the deal with them. 50% of a great deal is better than 100% of no deal.4.

Regardless, tell the broker what you're looking for and meet them and treat them to lunch or coffee and start building relationships.Bottomline, Loopnet can be a good source of deals and definitely, it's a way for you to meet commercial real estate brokers.

Lots of consumers think there's free lunch, in reality there is no free lunch.With HML (& most things in life), time is money, money is time. 16% and 4 points @ 50% LTV will fund the next day, I've seen it (I do not personally work on hard money loans, which is why it says "seen" it not "done" it, and no I do not refer those out either b/c I don't want to get sued when a loan shark does what loan sharks do & bites someone's arm and leg off).A really well priced quasi hard money non-qm quasi subprime might be at like 5.75% and 1.5 points, and might take a month.

Obviously, with no cash, I'll be contributing sweat equity and splitting property equity 50/50 or 70/30 to get my first deal paid for and closed.

Not to split hairs but there is no such thing as a 203k conventional loan.
