If you weight your analysis by:  1.

How much weight do you give to the cash flow benefit of cheap debt when the property is priced above market?

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

Since the BK must be disclosed in any securities offering, you would not be able to be a partner in a syndicator/sponsor type deal9.

I like umbrella because there is no worry of being pierced for inadequate separation of finances, if sued you have a heavy weight in your corner who has all the consequences of a defeat, and because usually it is reasonably priced (mine today is not so reasonably priced but I believe it is mostly related to the risks of CA).I do understand that the probability of needing the umbrella policy is low.  

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

For example, you could create a weighted structure where a percentage of profits is based on cash contributions, and another portion compensates for rehab or management efforts.Rent Payments and Tax-Free Profits:If you structure it as an owner-occupied property, the rent you pay could be shared proportionally, but tax-free gains on resale may only apply to your share, as you’d be the owner-occupant.

There would potentially be some weight issues with the 2nd+ floors of some shopping malls, depending on what the potential tenant wants to store in the upstairs unit. 

But if those payments feel like dead weight, Dave Ramsey’s “debt-free” mindset could be worth revisiting.Here’s a quick story to illustrate.
