My experience with the existing property has been mixed, with challenges such as missed rent payments and evictions.

I cant see paying someone a percentage of my rents if Iḿ taking so much of my time to be all up in the mix like that. 

., demographics, tenant mix, operating expenses breakdown)?

Looking to start mixing with the REI here in North Utah.

They want more online leads, but I'm quickly learning their bigger issue is outbound sales & marketing, i.e. understanding who their customers (and referral partners) are and engaging them meaningfully.I've been lurking on BP and researching their build areas and it seems like their primary clients are developers and investors, not individuals building their dream vacation home (though they are part of the mix).Their value prop is dollar efficiency and speed.

Unemployment and wage levels will be a mixed bag. 

It's a mixed use property. 

JD, while I appreciate your input, I just think you and I aren't a good mix.

Mix buying a home, saving money, putting money in different spots, and possibly getting a better loan deal to stand in a good spot after 5 years.Good luck!

I wouldn't mix the two, it could compromise your friendship if this turns bad.
