Who owns that? 

My friend wanted to lend me the money for my investment property at the same interest rate as Guidance and I would pay him a fixed rate monthly and we would both own the property until I pay it off. 

I've owned a few condos in the past so they aren't horrible purchases, but they're not the best.

This sets a mental deadline for the buyers and can create urgency—this pushes serious buyers to the table and weeds out tire-kickers.When negotiating, focus on the frame you want to set—position yourself as the expert, the person in control.

If you're counting on getting some financial aid for your children's education, you'll want to take a good look at how owning an investment property (negatively) impacts financial aid.

I haven't used it personally myself, but have heard good things, and I'm sure you can use it in your area.

Your property is similar to mine in great Indianapolis suburb with good schools owned since 2013 - worth about $300,000 (possibly could get a little more if in a multiple offer situation), property tax $6249.

I would be very interested in the person’s contact information that does Pad split in this geographical area. :)

I personally own 2 rentals in Indiana.

A nice but expensive duplex on a beach or in an expensive area might be ideal, if you can swing the other half out of personal funds.
