I’m glad you were able to move on without signing, shows the agent understands/is a good guy/gal, or knows other firms wouldn’t require such a signature. 

If raising all cash would be my primary method for funding these apartment deals, what would be your guys contingency in order from most preferred to least preferred. 

If you're not a "contract" guy, have an attorney review it. 

We found that by more or less falling on our sword and saying, "Hey, we want you guys happy... tell us what you need from us" they were more than helpful and once we had contractors they liked on board the process went perfectly smoothly.I don't live near you so can't help with your locale... but hopefully some of it helps!

Hey guys.  

The upside is if it was your primary the first $500k would be tax free Definitely talk to a tax guy BEFORE you do anything.

That said, what is not clear is whether your CPA prepares a partnership tax return for the deals where you guys partner up.

@Andrew Steffens will be your guy

Makes me feel more powerful  Guess what guys…I have an update call scheduled with Tom this coming Tuesday.

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a 2nd property in the L.A area and I want to know what the better strategy would be: 1. sell my primary residence and buy a duplex so I can do a house hack OR 2. do a cash out refinance to house hack for said duplex.
