@Tom McGeeConnect with @Stuart Udis he has a ton of threads about how to simplify asset protection and has educational events to discuss as well you should check them out before you go down this esoteric path of creating a complicated maze.   

There are many paths you can take.

I am a loan officer licensed all over the country, feel free to message me with questions.Have a great day! 

I have a lot to learn and am excited to connect with people in/around Atlanta and across the country. 

I have been ignoring a lot of her communication because deep down I dont want to actually split the portfolio or buy her out of her equity, I am just fine continuing along the path we are on. 

Whenever you sell a 2-4 unit, you want to create an entry path for an owner occupant as they will always pay more than investors.

If you enjoy it (and the area) it’s likely others will also..so you’re on the right path. 

There plenty of other opportunities elsewhere, my clients are involved in institutional grade properties across the country.

If you have to do cost plus, sometimes have to, You have to stay on top of the program management.The path forward is about renegotiating what you are going to pay.

We then stayed in that one (though it wasn't bad - just needed some cosmetic updates) for 7 years, just moved out, kept it as a long term rental, and moved into another major fixer in our STR market across the country near Acadia National Park in Maine.
