There is basically zero chance of that occurring.  

Our Florida mortgage practice was basically shut-down for 4 weeks due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

What is really missing are the numbers, or spreadsheets that can illustrate the savings. 

To me, having one mortgage payment for 2 - 4 houses (basically) always seemed interesting and like something that would give me more bang for my buck. 

I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

Security is too basic and important an issue for the technology to fail.

I will assume somewhere in the lease it states that the tenant is responsible for a basic maintenance and upkeep of the property.

At a basic level there is no one set way to structure a partnership.

Well if you go together it could split it and get basically nothing - spend $2-3k file a lawsuit and get a judgment you are first in line… Also in many instances you can slap that judgment on his personal residence as well and foreclose on that.

Your goal is to build a passive real estate portfolio (we can discuss what passive means to you), so while I don't condone throwing $100k into a deal without even a basic understanding, alternatively doing so will teach you far more lessons than reading a book will.
