My background is as a structural engineer (licensed in ~20 states), and over the years I’ve seen firsthand how engineering/design input can make or break a value-add project.I’m curious how others here have structured partnerships when one partner brings specialized skills (like engineering/architecture, general/specialty contractors) in addition to capital.Do you attempt to treat them as a straight equity partner, as a reduced cost service provider with upside or something more creative?

Buyers are used to basement storage as well as as finishing basements for additional living space.

In addition to BiggerPockets, I’d recommend “The Note Buyer’s Handbook” by Henry Harrison, “Real Estate Note Investing” by Dave Van Horn, and “The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Notes” by Steve Rachun — they’re solid go-to’s.

QBO is great for REI as long as it's setup for it. 100% of our clients are REIs and 100% of them are managed in QBO in addition to their PM software, etc.Hope this helps in some way!

Additionally, seek out wholesalers for off-market deals and consider hiring a contractor to assess properties with you, though be prepared to compensate them for their time. 

I don't have income verification or returns available and my Fico Mortgages 5, 4 and 2 scores are 616, 560 and 621 at Equifax, Transunon and Experian respectively.I have up to 180K cash for a down and $50k in additional reserves.

I asked him if he was trying to wholesale it, he said he plans to add it to his own portfolio.
