Over lunch, I asked him how he stands out in such a crowded field.

Must pay well, she door dashes breakfast, lunch, dinner like clockwork.

Maybe partner up with a local flipper on the renovation, split the profits after the sell and move on.

I’ve been around real estate for decades, and I read in The Economist once that in lively markets like Charlotte, folks will pay a premium for a comfortable room if you’re near major employers.A friend of mine tried something similar out in Austin a while back.. he’d inherited a 4-bedroom property and split it into individual room rentals.

Option 2: Sell them and split the proceeds.Considerations: - Immediate liquidity: I would have cash on hand for new rental or stock investments. - Eliminate mortgage obligation: Selling would relieve me of the mortgage. - Able to keep the retirement fund that was going to be used to buy out the equity

I only need her part time so if someone wanted to split her I'm interested in that. 

You split it with Peter 50/50 which of course is no big deal, however they say you will be in the program until you make $500k/profit!

If the water bill is $100 a month, increase the price by 20% (or whatever you decide is fair) to compensate you for the time required to split and bill and to cover additional use when tenants squander the utility.

I'd say consider split testing the SFR and LTR approach. 

Use the partner to scale, not the refi, split the cash flow according to shares dictate in your operating agreement.There's multiple ways you can approach your situation; I just wanted to provide some fresh eyes from the outside looking in!
