I just think having the profit secured for you, and making the cash flow a more predictable number will help you all mutually benefit from this transaction over you and your husband putting $100k into the game for an eventual $2m in liabilities and hoping to hit the break even.All those numbers are purely hypothetical of course, but I would probably talk one of my clients out of jumping on this opportunity as you phrased it. 

., you know you want to retire in X), then it's worth spending the time and money getting familiar with that area, acquiring some local knowledge, building a team and relationships on the ground, etc.Otherwise, if you intend to make it a purely "passive" investment without spending that time and money learning the market, I'm not a huge fan - that's not the right spot on the risk-reward curve for me personally (obviously, other people have different experiences and opinions.)But for me, I'd want to spend the time really getting familiar with a market and building a team and relationships, before investing there.

I had purchased a 2-unit property in Florida purely based on location appreciation potential rather than returns back in early 2018.The sellers as behind on his mortgage and needed to sell before he was foreclosed upon.  

This allows them to rent their house out to a professional when they leave for above their mortgage.We got started with personals and bought pure investments as we could afford it.

We also buy pure rentals when the number works. our market is class A properties managed all over the country as "home" is only relevant to the current set of orders.

If it was a pure rental than I would go for it an allowed pets.

We also buy pure rentals when the numbers work, but even that definition has changed. 

As we built up money from our jobs and the rentals we bought  pure rentals when the number works. our market is class A properties self-managed all over the country.

Over time with my career taking off we bought pure investments.We invest in class A real estate.

@Casey York I have been pondering whether or not to start one now so the name can be used for marketing but without the cash flow, I'm not sure if my money is better spent on just pure marketing.
