We arranged closing during a slower period of time & had him leave everything (furniture, inventory, guides, etc.) literally bought it & could start taking booking the same day.

Investors aren’t acquiring fractional property ownership but are instead buying income rights, meaning the arrangement avoids triggering real estate co-ownership laws or property title issues. 

The success rate is below 30% so it is always do some arrangements with the tenant or move on depending on the case.

My question is this: How could we structure an arrangement that would make sense for both my potential partner and myself?

Staging is the process of arranging and decorating your house to highlight its best features and make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers.

I recommend reaching out to the builders directly to negotiate any potential arrangements.

They have one of the more unfriendly fee and waterfall arrangements for LPs and both Frank/Joe have made alot of money over the years during the ZIRP period. 

Given today’s interest rates, a highly-leveraged arrangement (where you’re putting 3% or 5% down) probably isn’t going to generate any cash flow, so unless you’re comfortable with injecting money into the deal every month, I’d recommend accumulating more cash before you start investing.Generally speaking, a good place to begin is when you have enough for a 20% down payment, closing costs, and 3 to 6 months of reserves.

She'll help you arrange where the furniture should go, and links to any additional accents she recommends (rug, curtain, curtain rods, accent tables, etc)

@Tom Hall It is my understanding that if you talk with your mortgage company first and make the necessary arrangements you can recast your mortgage to get a lower payment by paying down a chunk of the mortgage at once.
