To skip to the punchline, I haven't landed a deal yet, but not for lack of effort.I've offered on three different sets of properties, and all have fallen through for one reason or another. 

Hi Twana,If you’re looking to fix and flip you might want to think about partnering with someone that can provide the cash if you have the skill set to make the flip happen.

P.S Bill Gates couldn’t get the money to purchase DOS from Kildall so he reached out to IBM and asked them if they would make the purchase at $25,000 “peanuts” and set up a licensing agreement which they said no and than turned to Microsoft for $50K making him a part of the company and founder of now known MDOS than Q DOS.

We are set to close on this house/lot in 28 days (July 26th) so need to work on the demo plans, permitting, architecture, etc but need to hire the right team to run this project on time / on budget.  

So I was wondering if there is some issue if I make a loan to a non-disqualified party that does get a share of the profit, not just a set interest rate.

My next question would be if I keep the LLC as is and just do a DBA -  should I keep a separate set of books for the DBA?

Even if you want the easiest, most hands-off turnkey option (so paying market prices, not deal hunting) you could set yourself up with a few thousand bucks in monthly passive income, and a handful to 10+ properties, depending on whether you leverage that equity to the hilt or pay cash for a few properties. 

It does everything I need and a bunch of things I didn't know that I needed (Property Management invoicing, easy of setting up bookings direct for friends and family, etc.).Yes, there is a ton of noise about breaking away from OTAs.

The truth will set you free.

Just make sure you set it up legally.
