I'm looking to learn how people in my predicament (total beginner) can find their first investor(s) to sell their contracts to.

@Sharlene Morales seller financing, assumable loans, it all possible.

It’s the same story I hear: the project was way over budget, it took too long, and I can’t sell the house for what I was told it was worth—the ARV.When I sit down and talk with people in this predicament, I work backward to understand where it went wrong.

For moral if not legal reasons.

There are legal things you can do and ones you can't do, there are banking things you can do and ones you can't do, there are marketing things you can do and ones you can't do, there are landlord things you can do and ones you can't do, there are rehab things you can do and ones you can't do, there are financial things you can do and ones you can't do, there are tax things you can do and ones you can't do, there are moral things you can do and immoral ones you shouldn't do and so on.

Its unfortunate you even mention that in your description. it comes down to your own morals.

Which while your in the above predicament and want to maintain the same lifestyle your costs are going up.BP investors.  

Quote from @JD Martin: My view on this kind of thing boils down to this: I think it is morally wrong to use your fame/notoriety/whatever you want to call it to entice people into investing in something that you have little to no experience running or managing.
