Quite a bit of equity built up.

But, yes, it sounds like simply looking at your numbers and determining whether or not you can absorb a salary is the time to consider it. 

It looks like a great idea on the surface but the numbers don't stack up from a risk/return point of view as far as I'm concerned (it could be different for you depending on your return expectations).

Example, buying a vacant lot from a neighbor and simply explaining that someone else will be on the contract in a few days is not easy.

But using that mindset, so is landscaping, plumbing, or clean out during turnover.

Lots of investors simply want to go "bold" on all of their projects by using sharp color contrasts, busy tiles that catch your attention, and modern lighting that looks like it belongs in a hotel.

If her goal is to provide some of the proceeds to her ex in good faith, she can simply sell the property, have a tax professional estimate the taxable gains.

Especially now, I am seeing a lot of people who bought during or right after the COVID pandemic and are in situations where they simply cannot sell their homes for any profit (many of them bought as new construction).

You would expect a clean title at close so if there is some issue, then either it would be resolved by the seller or the deal would fall through.

ways to meet such people would be meetups, or simply walking into some smaller offices, could also ask around to other owners of the assets you are interested in and see who helps them.
