While there were challenges, such as adjusting to the nonrefundable deposit requirement as a percentage of the purchase price, I remained steadfast in my vision.

Just meet with an attorney who can draw up the agreement with the percentage of ownership with the terms of the agreement and then on deed, it would list both partners as owner with their percentage and it would stay that percentage for capital gains and expenses pro ratta. 

Hello Bigger Pockets, My team and I are looking for a tip to point us into the right direction of how to convert our current tenant from regular rent she pays to a Sect. 8 Voucher (where rents in that zip code are much higher), she will have a percentage of the monthly rent paid for her by the government.

Have a lower monthly payment, not pay PMI, be able to save a bit more from the W2 jobs each month, as well as having a greater percentage of the mortgage covered by the upstairs tenants. 

If I own a $150,000 property out right and rent that same property for $1,200 a month, my cash on cash return on investment percentage might not be as impressive as if I were leveraged, but, I don't have to worry about sometimes wildly fluctuating local real estate values possibly leaving me upside down and destroying my net worth in the process.  

This doesn't mean you have to pull out the full percentage, but whatever works best for your scenario. 

Here are the numbers: Appraised Value: $250,000I Owe: $150,000 Homes in the immediate area: Selling for $1.3 million I would like to figure out how to strike a win-win deal with an investor/ spec home builder where I get my full value of the land (once the project is done) and a small percentage of the overall project profit

They can only increase property taxes by a certain percentage each year.  

I have trying to find ways to give back to the community and while I would love to increase my monthly tithe percentage but that's not currently an option.

Ever think about turning your commission back into the deal (negotiating a percentage of the building)  Thinking that may be my play when I know enough about analyzing the deals and the market that is.
