Be ware of the ones that get compensated on the back end by trying to refer you to replacement property solutions that compensate them.  

The Managing Member shall be responsible for the compensation of the Investment Adviser.

If you operate as a separate business entity - S-corp, C-corp or a partnership - you may be required to have formal compensation for yourself: either a W-2 salary or so-called guaranteed payments.

Make sure the agreement includes a significant down payment, an interest rate that compensates for the risk, and clear terms about late payments or default.

Don't be obnoxious, but a few open ended questions may give you good insight into what your unit may be lacking and what people do like about it, to help drive future upgrades and marketing, and maybe help compensate for a shortcoming in the short term too.

I would like to pass on a little bit of useful information for anybody thinking of converting their permit over to owner-builder. 1 - You will not be able to sell the property for a minimum of 365 days from the date of issuing of the CO. 2 - The property must be for the owner's own use and occupancy and not for sale or lease which means you will not be able to rent it out. 3 - The owner-builder must ensure that all employees working on the project have the required licenses.4 - The owner-builder must provide worker's compensation as required by Florida law.5 - To apply for the owner builder permit, you must physical visit the building department.There are others requirements and conditions, however these are the main items.

After I raised this issue with RTR, they knew they fu*ked and they paid me some money as compensation and asked me to stay quiet and not post anything negative (which I am clearly not doing).

This reduction in access is what the compensation was to be for and tenant complaints will be many and with creative language. 

If none of those scenarios apply and the building is in fact grossing ~$10,750/m reach out because the building is not in a $115K door neighborhood in which case I would be interested and can find a way to involve you and make sure you're compensated :)

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.
