Young couple, late 20s, only one is steadily working but make 130k, partner would be the occupant, no pets. 705 credit but only because she doesn't have a lot of credit. 

You can read a book and multiple books, but unless you are out there doing it (I.e. getting bids and getting contractors to truly get you an exact estimate) you will be far off from the numbers you want and may even lose money on the flip/rehab.The best advice I would suggest in my experience is that you should get into the line of work by either partnering with someone or working with someone on some projects prior to going into a flip on your own.

You could also bring in a partner to buy out 1/2 of your equity position. 

Renting, like hiring an employee, taking on a business partner or client and marring (even more so), are relationships that can be costly if made hastily or imprudently.Like others, I have check lists that I do not deviate from. 

However, we’re partnered with them, so if you use TurboTenant for property management, you can easily integrate their services with ours. 

This would obviously require you partnering with an investor that you trust. 

On one deal ultimate my partner and I went $140k if youOUT OF POCKET when we lost all but one paying tenant after March 2020 (Covid).

I was looking for partners in my network who wanted to JV on this property, but they wanted to know for certain that the title was clear since it was through a wholesaler and not "traditionally" through a realtor.   

Purchase price: $145,000 I am the managing and credit partner on this investment.

You could also bring on a business partner that specializes in sales/marketing to lead that side of the business
