What Would You do In This Situation?

[Jevin B.]

Hey B.P. I am a first time investor and I have a question about structuring a deal. I’m 23 years old currently renting in the Bay Area. I’m self employed and cannot qualify for a loan. I have a family member who is a real estate agent and wants to buy an investment property because her house is paid off. We both agreed to go in on a multi family property together and I will live in one the units. I currently can put in 10k-15k in to the property, but I’m having a difficult time trying to structure the deal. We have not met with a lender yet and I’m kinda stuck trying to understand how this deal will look on paper. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated
