Money brings emotions, emotions bring tension, and you need to be able to work through that.Feel free to reach out if you want to BS about real estate! 

Asian communities in the US will also be impacted as racial tensions resurface.

Bring your buckets and your muscles, LOL.

Wow, I can image there was a bit of tension over the holidays.

That is some very powerful leverage with you doing some muscle to get the engine running instead of buying the deal.Yes 40-50% is a wise suggestion.

That opens up a can of worms with fair housing laws, but also gives me a chance to make sure everyone gets along and POTENTIALLY convince prospective tenants they wouldn't be comfortable so they chose not to pursue an application.My other way of preventing tensions between renters is to target my advertising.

@Vlad Bird It appears to me that you have high-tension power lines running diagonally across the property.

@Connor Kelly Other options :Use first rental property to take a HELOC upon for down payment on next rental property.Use a Hard Money Lender / Different Bank on the right deal to buy all cash loan to cost or with less money down.Partner with another private lender or investor to acquire either all cash, you bring the hustle/muscle and they bring the loan/down.Any other way to get it done that makes sense.

Acknowledge their concerns and try to diffuse any tension.

To be clear, there is no tension involved with this at all - we're just all trying to determine the best outcome for us the investors, and the kids as heirs.
