I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market.

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.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level).
