Get a better idea of the rents,  a relator said isn't good enough. 

My credit isn't horrible, but it's not good enough to get approved for a loan of any type.

You may try floor planner...it's a free online tool that you can use for creating floor plans...It's not as detailed as AutoCAD, but good enough for most projects...http://www.floorplanner.com/

So I'm thinking of taking on a partner who has the cash but does not have good enough credit or job to be apart of the financing ,he has sufficient cash on hand for his half of the deal.

If it is a good enough deal, perhaps there are some local private lenders who might be interested.

. :) Neighborhood stats/demographics seemed good enough, seems like a solid blue collar neighborhood.

I haven't been able to find anything here on BP and all my google searches came up with note financing with a minimum of $1M or more.I'd like to buy and hold the notes, but one scenario I might be open to is selling the notes after a year or so since they are peforming and if I can get a good enough deal out of them, use those funds to pay down/refinance the mortgage on the properties to increase the cash flow and/or purchase more properties from him.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I look for the item that looks just good enough without costing much more.  

Though qualified and pay rent on time, they will complain constantly and, despite you jumping through hoops trying to satisfy them, nothing will ever be good enough.  

@Derek Torculas - If the deals are good enough you shouldn't have trouble finding buyers.
