My friend proposes that he will commit in a deed of trust that he will pay me half of the monthly mortgage for the condo till we sell the house or we pay off the house.

There are concerns: US businesses are delaying or cancelling investments due to uncertainties associated with the trade war and the presidential election (new president may propose new taxation on the rich and/or corporate).

I just happened to see the owner this morning and told her that we were interested in her property and wanted to sit down with her to talk about an offer we'd like to propose. 

Proposed pets (size/breeds)4.)

It is called proposed construction or some even call them air houses.

But spend $$ and then try and hit me for the $$, I would have a harder time saying YESThis is what I would propose at this stage......give me all the receipts of actual cost incurred and I'll agree to pay half of it.

Do you want to buy the place but not have to make any payments on it until it's rented at $4,300 / month, or you want to get the place under contract and see if the Seller/builder can really rent it out for the proposed $4,300 / month before you close on the deal? 

I’ll listen to any proposals, I just want to at least get my feet wet.

@Kevin Chan I think Oklahoma fits the proposed model.

I'd propose going conventional 5% down on an owner occupant loan on a MFR property.
