Hi BP,I recently purchased LVP for my personal residence, and due to my "type A" personality spent quite a bit of time researching options :-)  I made a table to keep track of various factors, and wanted to share it here in case it's helpful to anyone else.  

If you are looking to partner make sure you ask yourself what do you bring to the table?

You can either pay or find one for free (which really means at the moment one does not have the capital to bring much to the table, but they have the hunger to get things done at a high-level showcasing commitment to the mentor).

With your experience and track record, 20% equity seems fair, especially since you're bringing a lot to the table in terms of finding the deal, managing the rehab, and handling the buy/hold. 

Go with a butcher block island for a dinner table and buy some metal legs from Etsy.

The properties are currently about breaking even based on their first year as rentals, but the management company used seems to be leaving some on the table in my opinion. 

Looks like a million bucks and takes just a few hours to do a whole dresser or dining table.

I spoke with my attorney for eviction. but my brother who use to work debt and bill collection told me if this tenant is on social security and works under the table at a job I can't garnish his wages because disability and social security are protected which I find ridiculous since he has been living for free guess these deadbeats know the system so well to get away with things.

Maybe suggest felt pads for furniture legs to reduce noise from moving chairs or tables.

Taking on debt isn't off the table, I'm just really afraid of the risk since I'm not sure how it would impact my current mortgage, or what the worst case scenario would be if things failed.
