Yep I just paid taxes It actually felt great in this instance, like I was a contributing member of a bustling society, or something:)

Thanks for the all those contributing to the Texas-related posts I've been following. 

Purchase price: $740,000Using investor contributions and a non-qm loan, we’ve purchased a lake front home on Lake Norman, NC.

We ran into some unexpected costs last year, so aren't able to contribute much to the down payment on the next property right now as we build up our savings again (DP will be her contribution).

In my last post, we discussed home variability and how a lack of uniformity contributes to challenges in property renovations.

Excited to see your contributions and potential collaborations in real estate.

She knows and trusts the two potential partners so she has finally gotten on board with doing this deal -- so I'm wondering if having a low cash on cash and depleting my investment reserves is worth it to get her on board the real estate journey and have her contribute capital to be able to scale faster with her help later on.Any advice is appreciated.

And, math should be a significant contributing factor of that decision making in my opinion. 

While you are unlikely to get dinged for it if you don't offer it, there is a category called value that this type of issue can contribute to people marking down. 

Thank you in advance for contributing to this post.
