Hi Zalman,Thanks for your reply, some quick responses:1.

Here’s a concise response for the post:As a CPA who’s been doing accounting since 2013, I always recommend QuickBooks Online for real estate investors because I find it to be the most user-friendly.

but generally - new accounting and property tracking softwares fall short in one of two places: 1) they don't actually generate financial statements that a CPA or Lender will approve, or 2) They can, but the learning curve is so steep or convoluted it's impossible for you to get help if/when you need it (I imagine this is why this thread is a little slow right now)Have you asked your accountant what they think will work best?

Quote from @Arun Maheshwari: Hi,Does the bank owned foreclosure property allows to put Inspection contingency for big issues like plumbing, eletricity etc.ThanksIf it is bank owned and the foreclosure has taken place - possibly but they would make you responsible to turn on power and water and turn it back off.

(I had chat GPT optimize this response, Lol)That's a good point—I have similar rentals as well.

Quote from @Guillaume Vidallet: Thanks for your response. 

We provide a fridge and a stove and also supply washer/dryer hookups but not the washer and dryer itself.As far as dishwashers go we only supply them in the better neighborhoods we have properties in where we feel the tenants have more of a likelihood to use them responsibly.

Great response, Dennis!

Quote from @Adam Bartomeo:Adam - Thank you for the thoughtful response and my follow up would be to ask when you would consider a property "maxed out".

Structuring the Deal with a PartnerWhile your partner cannot directly participate in the loan, there are ways to structure your arrangement to reflect your 50/50 partnership:Option 1: Post-Purchase Equity SaleYou obtain the 203(k) loan in your name as the owner-occupant.After closing, you sell your partner 50% equity in the property via a quitclaim deed or similar legal instrument.Your partnership agreement would outline each person’s roles, responsibilities, and share of profits.Note: Be mindful of FHA’s rules around title changes and ensure this doesn’t violate loan terms.Option 2: Partnership Contribution AgreementYou both contribute to the down payment and renovation costs as outlined in a partnership agreement.Your partner’s contribution could be recognized as a share of the equity in exchange for funding, services, or property management.The partnership agreement would detail how profits, responsibilities, and equity are split.Option 3: Joint Venture AgreementStructure the deal as a joint venture, where you own the property personally (required for the FHA loan), but profits and roles are split per a formal agreement.Your partner could receive equity-like compensation through profit-sharing without being on the title.3.
