Many investors choose a profit-sharing model for true equity partners, often splitting profits 50/50 or based on the level of their contribution to the deal, but ensure everything is clearly defined in writing to avoid misunderstanding/miscommunication. 

Anyway a guy name Nick, started off with asking people why we are here, why choose real estate, are you aiming for financial freedom, spend more time with families etc.

I’d say investors that choose better locations and better properties within those locations will have a much better chance of success as the big risks will be minimized (by better properties I mean with less deferred maintenance, not necessarily newer but newer can sometimes reduce operating expenses, or older with “good bones” that are well maintained, especially if you’re needing to outsource any work and manage it remotely).

Ideally, I would love to buy a multi-family property and rent it out, I would consider house hacking but I mainly want to my first property to be one that I can improve on and have it generate income for me.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.
