Definitely not a 50-50 spit in expenses but only a 75-25 split until initial investment is regained. 

Wealth in real estate is built on appreciation over a long period of time (e.g many investors in Bay Area and LA) but on BP and social media, cash flow is constantly pushed in inexpensive locations which likely won't appreciate enough to make up for all the costs.

While I can’t speak for what others are paying, I can tell you the cost to build new here is not inexpensive.

Include market statistics, building timeframes, rental revenue projections, and your overall property plan.Provide precise financial predictions, including expected rental income, operational expenditures, and cash flow.

But I have to think the service providers who rely on transactional real estate deals for their income IE RE agents  MLO  PM the agents in Columbus OHIO :) etc this would be a very inexpensive form of advertising that they would pay an add on for.
