@Hai Loci'm contemplating something similar; i can get 80% LTV. i bring in a cash partner for the downpayment on an investment property we turn into a vacation rental.let's say the pp is 100k.1. partner puts in 20k (and has this as lien on mortgage)2. i manage the vacation rental over the summer.3. we split cash flow (with property management fee considered).4. then we split equity  .is this essentially what you're outlining above?

So essential he just made a 10% return on his 100k for example if he let me borrow 100k. 

PM me pls Its hard to say - a broad range of things but essentially not disclosure issues and wanting things fixed that they didnt ask for after their first inspection.

My parents are essentially giving me 3 homes to tackle myself.  

It's unclear if the state will champion this issue, but reaching out to your representatives is essential.

This led me to think they have unethical practices and they essentially robbed the previous owners of their home.  

For example, it's not uncommon to see a whole Asian family live together for a long time and essentially using group economics to start up family run businesses.

In the long run because of rent caps, I was able to rent it for more and that essentially made back the money I 'lost' due to damage and unpaid rent. 

Engaging in a variable rate commission and not disclosing it (essentially making the playing field even so everyone knows the rules) is a violation of the NAR code of ethics, and in many states, a violation of the law. 

In May of this year, I reached out to a property management company I had worked with in the past to inform them that I had a property becoming available and to request a Lease Option Only service (essentially where they find a tenant and I self-manage from there).
