You're essentially buying into a partnership with your friend with the partnership owning and operating the property.Now, the financial side of that gets more complicated and would generally include an advanced proforma/financial model that includes a GP/LP equity waterfall schedule that is based on how you and your friend agree that you will pay her and also share the profits.I assume that won't make sense to you right now, but I'll send you a DM.

Share your next-best value-add REI cons upcoming in then next 6 months  (please!).

I have confirmed what @Garrett Brown shared -- my best option is an SBA disaster loan with a lower than normal interest rate to pay off our mortgage and then I can also hope for / pursue with others a land buyback program for those of us who have floodplain property that FEMA won't reinsure.

That said, I'm not completely opposed to sharing ownership if it were mutually beneficial.

FYI to anyone looking for me to “share my list” — I don’t understand why (and am surprised), but I have NOT received any feedback directly from actual property owner-investors.

Best of luck and I'd love to connect to share ideas and knowledge.Amanda

When working with out-of-state agents remotely, try asking about their experience with out-of-state clients, their take on market trends, how they handle issues if you’re not local, their communication style, and if they can share any recent deals or references—it’s a quick way to see if they’re a good fit without being there in person.
