Working with family and friends can get sticky but make sure to have all your details in an agreement.

The metrics I looked at was job growth, unemployment rates, available assets, and rent to rice ratios and both cities seem to be above the national average in all.

One of our couches has large sticky stains that were not there before.

He would not have been involved in the sticky notes but likely knew James's wife's uncle.

When the tenant (shockingly) moved out, they left the following:- random miscolored paint on the wall- hundreds of roaches crawling everywhere- damage to all doors (appears they taped something on all doors and pulled it off removing the paint on the door)- deep scratches on the hardwood floors that will require replacement - gum and wax all over the floor and on several walls- something sticky all over the carpet when you walk anywhere the carpet sticks to your feet - also very oddly it appears the tenant changed the locks for some reason  landlord’s key doesn’t work- tenant removed all smoke detectors I could go on and on.

But the IRS can get very sticky when you're claiming that common portions of your property are being used for investment - much like the home office exemption. 

@Connor Rice how does the cash move around this deal from start to finish? 

There is plenty of free advise here for when you get into a sticky situation that you'll be able to get out of it.

Buying a home at auction is one of the most risky forms of real estate purchasing (this varies widely on the style of auction), so if you'd be putting said investor in a spot where they COULD make $30k for the risk they take on, but then that $30k is eaten up with the inspection, subsequent repairs and replacements, and holding costs then that's a sticky wicket.In short if you can truly guarantee the investor a certain return, it's worth a conversation!

@Delbert Standifer, this is a sticky situation.
