Doesn't necessarily need to be something monetary but even the possibility of hiring them for your properties could be value.After a couple times of doing these, you'll have a better understanding of the process... but there will still be variables (labor, materials, your exit strategy also carries weight as well, whether you're going to fix-and-flip to a retail buyer or rent it out.)

This may be a pipe dream financially and if it is would certainly entertain a main building with cottages.

Those neighbors aren’t pulling their weight because good tenants pay market rents .

I had primarily been a buy/hold investor working a "9-5 dream" and slowly building my investment portfolio.

@John Casmon episode with @Omar Khan (not mentioning for some reason)  goes into more depth (Episode 52):https://www.casmoncapital.com/podcastTaking annual #s and dividing by 12 is going to give you the wrong answer and cause a ton of problems.This is because value-add project are heavily weighted in the first months and stabilize over the year.

If your partner is not ethical you could have real issues, and there is also the possibility for one partner to not pull as much weight as the other partner.

@Allison PanilaIf we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumber'd hereWhile these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:if you pardon, we will mend:And, as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to 'scape the serpent's tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.1.

They get sold a dream on a spreadsheet and then life happens and its not what was accounted for in the spreadsheet.Then there's those of us who make a solid effort to understand and visit the areas we invest.
