Want to leverage sweat equity for future automation (i.e flip and rent, short term business, etc.)Considering the current market, I feel like there will be opportunities arising in the next 6 months in the area.

Ultimately I am worried about protecting our business's reputation, the safety of our tenants, and having a viable rental. 

Family or not it's business not a charity.

Its $2k to start and was wondering if it is worth for them to build the Paydex and build up my business credit. 

He trimmed 5 trees and took one down but it was not for free and he is/was so busy hard to get. 

Please note my services are free because my my business is still new, but by generating leads could really help me get my foot in the door. 

Therefore, the projections and forecasts presented here should be used as general guidance and not as a definitive prediction of future market conditions.I recommend that individuals and businesses conduct their own research before making any investment or purchasing decisions.

With this approach, you are essentially taking on a distressed homeowner as a business partner. 

Now if he gets you by the hand and shows you how to buy with no cash and credit, and you are able to buy, then his snake oil is worth it weights in gold, but he will have many excuses his business is selling snake oil not real estate.

You would not be able to be classified as "materially participating" under what you propose, you must meet a couple of criteria to be considered including 100hrs+ spent on the business and more time than anyone else.
