And of course then CA will get its share :)

We have created an investment plan for them to buy shares of a property, against what we put down for an initial down payment, so it accelerates there returns.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!

I've been going to local RE meet ups and talked to other investors who have used many different strategies: out of state, syndications, NNN (triple net), commercial, AirBnbs, mid term rentals, co-ownership, house hacking, etc.

I'm struggling to find a good example that doesn't involve shared laundry.  

If you’ve tackled similar projects, please share your insights!

When someone else is on ownership (or deed/title) then they would need to sign a couple of things at closing to give permission for a lien to be applied to the property they own - but that doesn't mean that HAVE to be on the loan. 

When you say "is it proper etiquette to ask the seller's agent to share this info with us..." what info are you asking for specifically?

I am happy to connect and bounce ideas and share info as we both grow, if you like. 

I’m here to network with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and grow my knowledge in real estate investing.
