@Frank Wolter Great example of the American dream i.e. what fruits of your labor can produce.

You take control of it by producing your own business and your own leads.

Just hypothetical numbers, but if it supports the payment with income producing property and gives you cash flow, it's a no brainer.  

If I have nothing into an asset and it makes money then that asset has produced infinite return even if it only produced $1. 

Who is buying that robot produced product, and who is going to pay the bill to keep that robot factory running?

Having a creative background, first as a professional musician and then as music video, commercial and content producer, I never thought I'd be so hooked in real estate investing and the potential that comes with it. 

Any opportunity to produce more income?

From a bank standpoint, they will have a clear picture of who owns what and has what degree of liability;  however, all of the investors will have to produce tax returns and documents to the bank to show they are credit worthy. 

Invoice produced & signed off = payment.

I am definitely going to be keeping the duplex, as the income it will produce far outweighs the equity I have in it currently, but that now means I have to figure out property management from afar.
