At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

I'd prefer 30 year fixed rate debt at 7% over this arrangement unless there is something that I am missing.

But the most important thing is breaking out of the paralysis analysis stage and taking action!!!

At this stage, I am interested in house hacking, short-term rentals, and residential assisted living (though I hope to continue to learn more about other opportunities as well).I appreciate this community and the opportunity to learn from others.

The success rate is below 30% so it is always do some arrangements with the tenant or move on depending on the case.

Particularly other working mamas currently investing in real estate who are just starting out like me or in the wealth building stage. 

Dominic, I've found that participating on BiggerPockets forums, appearing on podcasts, and speaking at conferences have built trust with first-time passive investors when those forum posts, podcast discussions, and conference presentations show my experience, track record, and market knowledge to those reading, listening, or attending.This doesn't mean "selling from the stage", but instead, sharing actionable, useful information that I've gleaned from my many years of experience and from my own research. 

No matter the stage of the market, there’s always reasons not to invest. - Prices are too high- Prices are falling- Interest rates are too high- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too riskyThere’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.

My question is this: How could we structure an arrangement that would make sense for both my potential partner and myself?

Another step is to ask your current lender if an expedited post-disaster inspection can be arranged to speed things up.
