If the numbers look good, and things are going smoothly with this property, why not have your cake and eat it too.

The plumping had been updated, as well as the electrical but the icing on the cake was a brand new central AC unit which had been put in a few years prior, which is really really hard to come by in my area of investment.The daughter who had power of atoney was there along with her husband, when I stopped by. 

Making a commission on an investment I want is icing on the cake, not a deal breaker.  

Condos are selling like hot cakes with plenty of cash offers and going 20-30% above asking.

The cash flow from the rent is the icing on the cake. 

I'm not gonna be making payments  or take any piece of the cake once they sell their condo I just want to help them lower their monthly payments but the same time I'm concern if I will get hit w/ taxes.

Then once you get some properties banks will be able to take your rental income and use that in your DTI.If your husband is one bored with your real estate journey I would absolutely use his job as leverage to get started.If you survived being a stay at home mom then real estate should be a piece of cake.

That volume-referral dynamic may be the sort of icing on the cake that gets a phone call returned.Or, and I say this only partially in jest, massively expand the scope of the job.

@Ryan Moyer takes the cake. 

I really have no interest in the appreciation, "icing on the cake" as Brandon says!
