Creative Deal. Opinions Wanted
Hello,
I have an interesting opportunity, but I am having trouble determining how to creatively work this deal.
2 friends invested in a property and 1 wants to sell. To complicate things, 1 of the friends got her parents to invest in the deal as well! (her parents would not want to be in the deal without her most likely).
I am an outsider who was invited to step in to try finding a creative solution. Both parties trust me on a personal and professional level. (I am also interested in gaining an equity stake in the property for both appreciation and cashflow. I am willing to be the property manager, buy people out of their share, etc. I own 5 other rental properties in Atlanta.)
Currently, the property is not performing well as a rental and my friends are not great at collecting rent and communicating.
Equity:
Friend A 49% (flexible and would be willing to cash out now or stay in for appreciation potential. Has a ton of construction experience.)
Friend B 25% (does not want to be connected to Friend A in any regard. Ideally, wants to cash out via selling, refinancing, etc.)
Friends B's Mom 13% (want cashflow/appreciation but probably does not want to be in a deal with Friend A without their daughter (Friend B))
Friend B's Dad 13% (want cashflow/appreciation but probably does not want to be in a deal with Friend A without their daughter (Friend B))
Property:
C-class 1/1 in an up and coming neighborhood in Atlanta (Pittsburgh)
Taxes: $740
Insurance: $850
Rent: $500. Market rate for 1 bedroom seems to be around $750-800. Adding a bedroom could bring it to $900-1000.
They bought it for $59k cash in 2018 and they now think it is worth $80-100k.
Ideally, I would love to find a way to gain a stake in the property (for little or no money up-front), become the property manager, boost the rental potential, and make everyone happy.

Why did it require 4 separate people to buy a $59k $500/month house? Not even worth it.
