Could you sell the one with an HOA and refi/rent the others? I'm sure budget would be a barrier to do a STR or MTR but if you had a good market for it, it could be a great way to recoup some of the loss. Keep us posted!

This is a perfect time to learn how to run your numbers. It's hard to know if it will cashflow if you don't have accurate rental comps.

What are the terms? How are you planning to structure the partnership?

Quote from @Sky Cornell:

I am a Realtor, Contractor, LTR/STR Investor and Property Manager. I get asked all the time by friends and family to "go in a property together" but I can't seem to find a scenario where that makes sense to me. I know i'll end up doing everything (find, buy, fix up, and manage) so a 50/50 arrangement just doesn't seem fair. I don't want either side to grow resentfull. The only reason why I would partner with someone is to free me up to purchase more properties (both financially and debt to income)...but if I'm still coming in with half the expenses and doing all the work, it doesn't really make sense.

Any suggestions?


 What are they offering to bring to the deal? My guess is you would be the contractor. In that case, they should be the one financing.

Does your lease specify Zelle payments only? Maybe you could get him to agree to another form of payment by providing the letter from your financial institution.

I'm glad this conversation is happening! I am in talks with them at the moment for St. Petersburg, FL. The Tampa market is full, with a waitlist. I've asked if they track demand per city, or any other metrics. I'll be curious to see if they have any data for this program yet. Does anyone have any updates they'd like to share?

I just used Aceable and thought it was great! I have a referral/discount code if you decide to go with them.
