After talking to another family member they said they would be willing to go in on the duplex and offered to pay the $40,000 down payment and help with any repairs but they want to be "partners" or "own" a percentage of the duplex.

With prices so high in NY, where would you suggest New Yorkers invest in their own backyard?

We are currently in a n escrow for a new home, our own to live in.

10% down 2nd home loan and savings from the proceeds of already owned STR's.

I am currently self employed as a GC with my own company: Carolina Premier Homes.

I also own some long-term rentals and a short-term rental.

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

I am not able to take equity out of my condo because it is currently on the blacklist due to HOA fixing the roofing and a Fannie Mae rule stating, if more then 50% of the condos in that community are owned by investors, I may not be able to refi.

The business would own the properties.

I have a client that lives in Hawaii but owns a property in DC area.
