If any of the specific areas catch your interest and you’d like more details, these are only portions of the full reports I wrote on each submarket and I am happy to send the full report to you, feel free to send me a private messageAfter conducting thorough research on the economic and infrastructure developments in Alexandria, Virginia, I believe it holds strong potential as a long-term buy-and-hold real estate investment over the next 20 years.

We typically estimate standard costs for these items but get them done much cheaper with our own crew.

Couple of things I would add as I am an investor and also a licensed GC(i.e. builder)  there in the area. 1) That property might have a zillow estimate of 1.9 million but its only 4,000 sq ft. 

Structuring the Deal with a PartnerWhile your partner cannot directly participate in the loan, there are ways to structure your arrangement to reflect your 50/50 partnership:Option 1: Post-Purchase Equity SaleYou obtain the 203(k) loan in your name as the owner-occupant.After closing, you sell your partner 50% equity in the property via a quitclaim deed or similar legal instrument.Your partnership agreement would outline each person’s roles, responsibilities, and share of profits.Note: Be mindful of FHA’s rules around title changes and ensure this doesn’t violate loan terms.Option 2: Partnership Contribution AgreementYou both contribute to the down payment and renovation costs as outlined in a partnership agreement.Your partner’s contribution could be recognized as a share of the equity in exchange for funding, services, or property management.The partnership agreement would detail how profits, responsibilities, and equity are split.Option 3: Joint Venture AgreementStructure the deal as a joint venture, where you own the property personally (required for the FHA loan), but profits and roles are split per a formal agreement.Your partner could receive equity-like compensation through profit-sharing without being on the title.3.

Make sure you are using the estimated taxes shown at the Stark auditors site to check on them for next year as there are some significant increases coming!
