Can you split the proceeds from a SF home sale into 2 down payments on properties of equal or greater value?

If you are 50/50, you will both have to provide equal amounts of documentation and the jet for your foreign national partner will be having US Banked Assets of his own and deoenging on the lender, loan type and term, the FN partner may need a FICO score as well.Good luck 

Concurrently with #1, I would see if I could get an equally reliable car with a lower monthly payment than the one with the 10k remaining on the loan, or ask myself whether I even needed a second car (maybe in Texas, you do, but it's also possible to carpool, take public transit, bike, etc.)  

Now all things being equal and your goal is principal reduction then go for it.

The investments that you choose not to make are equally as critical as the investments you do make.  

Wayne Brooks Perhaps this loan has a prepayment penalty that is equal to the remainder of the total amortized amount?

We each put up an equal amount of our money to cover the down payment plus rehab costs ($50,000 each, for argument's sake), and I get a mortgage for $250,000 (my name only on the mortgage, not both of us).  

Note I will be putting the land as well as cash to equal %20 (or more if required.) in order to get good terms.Thanks in Advance!
