Some things to consider with the above suggestions of creating an LLC and contributing the property + $100,000.The basis the partnership has in the property is transferred from Person A.If person A's basis in the property is $100,000 but the value is now $200,000.The depreciation would be based on the $100,000 instead of $200,000 which may 'upset' partner B.Furthermore, you have to properly structure it so the IRS does not see it as a 'disguised sale'.A disuised sale can potentially occur when Partner B contributes $100,000 into the partnership and it is immediately transferred to Partner A.best of luck

@Mark Ainley and his team are great here.Hey @Timothy Galligan - I have several properties here in Chicago that are on section 8 and I can by far tell you the most important is having the right property manager who can vet tenants properly and knows the in's and out's of all the different programs.If you are interested in Chicago happy to make some connections for you!

If  you are in the 20% range, you are better off going to the casino and putting all of your money on black and seeing what happnes.Since you are out of the area properly calculating cash on cash returns can be difficult because you have variable expenses to calculate. 

Quote from @V.G Jason: The excuses people make to invest at the most casual level is appalling.I'm not going to sit here and compare lives, but trust me folks with 20x the amount of stuff on their plate can go out there and invest properly in RE by doing their diligence.

@John MasonNot a fan of velocity banking as proper will charge $ o make it but typically it’s better to invest this money- here is what makes me laugh in this articleIf you do velocity banking you pay it off in 76 months - if not you pay it off in 77 monthsIs all that work of trying to write checks from a HELOC vs auto debit your bills worth one month of mortgage payment over 6 years?

However, I want to ensure I'm properly structuring deals, receiving legal and fair compensation. 

I've seen modern $5,000 couches for less than $1,000, but then coordinating pick up and doing the task was a mission in itself.

Although we are in different states, I’d love to be apart of the group and help coordinate and connect with other investors in the same investing strategy as myself.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊
