You’ll get there eventually, we all have our hiccups.

The value that your wife is bringing to the table is actually easier to convert into a percentage of ownership in the deal because you should have a pro-forma and financial projections for the deal and the commissions that she will not charge actually have a dollar amount that is easily calculated based on the numbers you are projecting.Our business model is based on syndications for large multifamily properties where we bring equity from our investors as limited partners and we participate on the general partnership side of the deal alongside our operating partners (which in your case would be the builder).

There is 1 more hiccup.

Vinyl being replaced in a duplex unit:  Only part of the original floor was replaced with a totally different kind of vinyl laid along side of the original vinyl.

There were some hiccups with the purchase of my current home, so I am a little worried that coming to this agent with hopes of investing so soon after won’t be taken seriously, and I’ll be put on the back burner.

Assuming you can financially support hiccups along the way I think it’s a solid strategy.

@Jimmy Ready If you feel comfortable buying a multi-unit and living in one of your units alongside your tenants, there's nothing wrong with that.
