NoI would assume at minimum 10k per unit of those 6, plus they are not even getting to the heart of the problem: what is the status of the BUILDING....?

There is nothing easy in this business, but if you have the heart for it Raleigh is a good place to call home. 

But honestly I would have heart failure if I saw someone trashing my property.  

My heart was in my throat,  what happened?

I do not have the stomach or more importantly the heart to invest on the grander scale you speak of....

I'm afraid to look at my P&L because I'll just have a coronary, I was writing checks every few days.

I currently own a single family rental in a single family zone right in the heart of the city of Seattle.

Clearly there are some land mines in this procedure, not the least of which is trust between lender and borrower, none of them will stop me from trying however.This is not for the faint of heart or newbie.The usual disclosures:  I'm not a tax pro or legal pro, I'm just a guy.

Cash will be eaten in a heart beat.* I especially despise the mantra "never use your own money".

I wasn't raised around the guy or anything, but he is family, he wants to be close, and if I'm honest with myself, there's probably a seed of doubt in my heart wondering if I'll be able to accomplish all this alone or find someone who sees all the great things I can do and will want to partner up.
