I know this is text, so please don't interpret this as harsh.

I know, technically, I can get away with it, but I feel like that's pretty harsh.

I obviously want to make it clear that these are minor issues, and that a few are simply untrue, without coming off as harsh or a confrontational host.

Use cash.If you do not have cash & you have poor credit it will be an uphill battle.Ra Ra guys saying you can do it, read this book, get partners, do wraps, buy coaching.. etc is all well and good but no cash, no credit & no experience is not a practical way to get started.Do not want to sound harsh.

You can learn them from me, or you can ignore and learn them on your own and call it a 'stupid tax'.1 - Many Detroit tentants can be flakey, and will try to get you emotionally involved in their drama.

@J Scott it currently is the modified terms for the 20%, he wanted to claim I changed the deal after closing (which I did after he requested) and took profit from him so to avoid drama and any appearance of something not being done right I agreed to revert to the JV status.

If you still can't or don't wish to do this, then as harsh as it may sound I'd argue that you can't really afford to live where you live, and the best course of action may be to move to somewhere more affordable.

If you are inspecting the property on a regular basis then you could also be doing any needed repairs when you are there.Not to sound harsh but you need to run your business like a business and not a hobby.

Man harsh :) Obviously if there is no way that I can make it work than I won't bother, just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to how it could possibly be a good deal.

@Lisa HenrichSuggest you not volunteer to join someone else's drama - - look for something else.
