I am at the point where I am out of liquid assets, and have left my W2 job to focus on real estate and a side business, so I cant get another traditional mortgage, and a deal like this could really be helpful with my current situation.So my question: What are some good ways to structure an equity partnership with 1 or more outside partners in which they provide all, or almost all of the cash, to fund the deal, and I do all the work?

Can you give an example of how a deal would be structured with another REI?

The basement wall has crumbled on one side, the support posts have fallen off the porch and it is currently condemned due to structural damage.

Ill reach out and present to them my situation and structure.

I asked how much you (referring to other investors) pay yourself, so I can get real world example of how other people structure paying themselves. 

They create the business plan and investment summary for prospective investors and work with a syndication attorney to structure the deal.Then, they start looking for limited partner passive investors who want to invest money into the deal.

My suggestion, before spending a bunch of time on talking with lawyers (and money) maybe find your partners and develop the structure that would be acceptable for all the parties involved.  

I'm looking for ideas on how to structure a deal for a seller who is moving into a low income senior living.

Talk to a tax professional about how to legally structure that.

Does anyone have any certified structural engineer recommendations to look at a property's foundation and some cracks in the brick?
