South Florida has plenty of solid investment opportunities, especially with the right network.

Hi Hunter,It sounds like you've built a solid foundation in real estate with a variety of experiences—that’s awesome!

You can buy a solid duplex with $1800 rents and no owner expenses for $350-$4325,000 that will appreciate and build wealth and cashflow.

This is an area heavy in house hacker investors so they still have to find at least one tenant for a duplex.

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: This is a solid start for the capital partners willing to do the 100% fin and then 50% on the profits.

I do see many investors incorporating a similar strategy with new construction builds, heavy rehabs, or in instances where the property was bought far below market value (usually a wholesale type transaction).

We had only worked together via phone and email for this deal.After all prorations at closing, I was only responsible to bring 6% to the table.

If you go with the partnership route1) You need to manage the money going in and out of the business bank account.2) File a partnership return and be responsible for issuing K-1's3) make distributions to you and your partner for cash flow that you receiveYou will likely spend many hours on a nice gesture.I may want to consider instead to give a christmas gift or a bonus for early completion of projects.

Your response really helped me understand the key aspects of short sales, especially regarding title issues, lender valuation, and inspections.I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise!

Thanks for the response.
