The upper level of society works in ways most of us will never understand...it sadly continues to be a back-and-forth thing of reaction...If our country and Chicago as well could take a proactive long term approach, our kid's kids would benefit in a way we couldn't image....

Use the partner to scale, not the refi, split the cash flow according to shares dictate in your operating agreement.There's multiple ways you can approach your situation; I just wanted to provide some fresh eyes from the outside looking in!

A balanced approach often works best—consider splitting your cash flow between paying down the mortgage and investing in diversified assets.

This is exactly what we coach investors on when they are focused on scaling.

Glad to have you as a part of this awesome community, Aqualis! 

We have a great community of investors here.  

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

If you find someone that seems to know a lot of people needing your services, wouldn’t it make sense to focus more resources on them?

It’s always insightful to hear how others approach raising money and evaluate those who do.

What are pros and cons of this approach.
