Is this ultimately a land play? 

If the partner wants to get a bigger cut on future deals, they can save their money and buy into a larger percentage on the next deal.

To save time we always get an accepted offer before viewing the property.

You're better off opting for an interest-only mortgage, saving on payments, and then refinancing it into something more conventional when interest rates drop—or, if possible, making a plan to pay down the principal.Interest-only loans, which typically last for the first 5 to 10 years of the loan term, offer two key benefits.

Ultimately the pictures combined with the location are what sells it.You want to avoid HOAs at all costs.

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

Investing in a new construction duplex or quad in a high-growth market is a smart approach—both for immediate cost savings and long-term cash flow.I also agree that focusing on markets with strong job growth and population increases is key.

In my analysis the cost for an ADU in kern county would run about $85K and I have saved about 75% of that right now.  

Those who can find order in chaos are the ultimate winners.
