For many young Americans, buying a home has always been a major milestone—one that represents financial stability and long-term investment.

So, I don't want to expand that tool beyond what it is today.1) If anyone out there knows of such a dashboard for a small investor (I have 5 commercial leases and 14 residential), please share the information on where I can buy a template.2) If any of you are interested in working together to develop this tool, I am happy to meet and build a wish list for features that we can divide up the work and complete it faster. 

Joint ventures entail utilizing your own money to buy properties with others.

Maybe she’s financially illiterate and won’t see what a scam your seller finance offer is, but she did have $100k laying around to buy the property, so probably not.

Since it is a family member and I would potentially buy the property for under market value.
