How Can I Be a Partner?

[Lex Miller]

Hey BP Family,

Northern California resident here that wants to start investing in rentals.  

Stats:

Divorced 40 year old man with 5 kids.  Science teacher.  No skills what-so-ever.

Horrible Credit.

Minimal to Zero Savings.

No Construction or Rehabbing Skills or Experience.

So....I need advice on how to get into investing.  Partners?  Like what can I offer someone to promote myself and convince them to give me money to invest/invest with me?  What can I do - and - what would you do in my situation?  

Aaaaannnd...GO!

(Thanks in advance)
