Red flags for me include people who are overly optimistic without considering risks or those who don’t seem to have a clear plan for their contributions to the partnership.

My plan would be to use the equity loan from the second home to purchase another great deal (3rd home) and use the rental income from the second home to pay towards the equity loan and then start renting out the third home to get rental income and start paying off the mortgage on the 3rd home.

They are holding the proceeds from my sale and I am planning to buy a couple of DSTs shortly.

We’ve just finished our 2025 planning meetings for our six largest projects, and it’s been an interesting process. 

I just bought my first rental property in Baltimore, MD, and I’m planning to rent it out by the room, including the basement.

Nathan is right regarding timelines, need to plan for 60 days for anything you want.

Provided I can establish a solid investment plan tailored to their financial needs/comforts such as debt ratios and income, they would be more than happy to offer me some financial control.Additionally, If I wanted to, for the sake of building my own personal wealth, I admittedly have the luxury of taking a loan from my parents.

By tackling them early on, you minimize the risk of missing critical dates.In my experience, closing a deal within a specific timeframe requires meticulous planning.

@Van Lam - I think your plan to finish rehab and then rent them out a higher market rents makes sense to do first.

We've also been riding the wave of low interest rates for years and now that rates have risen investors have to be a little more creative with their investment plans and take a longer term view of stabilizing the building to make it a nice cash flowing property.Where are we going to find more 2-4 unit properties?
