Jaedon, that’s a question I’ve seen stir up a lot of debate, especially these days when the cost of capital and property prices can feel like they’re arm-wrestling over who goes higher.

If not, then you really need a strong legal structure stating how these properties will be governed going forward, including management, tenant selection, capital expenses, etc.

Maybe team up with someone who has capital but lacks your expertise?
