Absent one, sell and split the proceeds based on their cash contribution to the purchase. 

A bit about me:I live in Portland, OR (which is quite expensive)I’m a first-time homebuyerI’m interested in the "small and mighty" approach to real estate investingI’m actively contributing to my 401(k), maxing out my Roth IRA, and have $30K in savings.

The $260mil is simply just the value of properties that are currently in select counties I want to focus on to start so I put that number as more of an example of what I would ideally like them to contribute funds or fund fully up to but things can go at a pace as investor that wants to team up wants to go.  

One additional thought is that most hard money lenders and private money lenders will require the borrower to contribute to the purchase/rehab of the property.

Capital Expenditures (10-15% of Income)Rule of Thumb: Reserve 10-15% of your income for capital expenditures (CapEx) like roof replacement, HVAC systems, or major renovations.Why: Regularly contributing to a CapEx fund ensures you have the cash on hand for significant improvements or replacements, preserving the value of your properties.5.

Lower taxes mean lower overhead costs and a more favorable environment for growth, making the state even more attractive to companies looking for a business-friendly climate.Real Estate Opportunities AboundAll of these factors contribute to a real estate market that’s ripe for investment.

I don’t know if I should keep pumping up the numbers in my 401k and getting the tax benefits, or lower my contributions and out money into a high interest savings account for my next down payment

So what i bring to the table in my Journey:Flexible job that makes me available throughout the daysTruck and Gas pre paid forSome Cabinetry and Trim experience  10+ years dealing with subcontractors as Project MangerSome investment capital on hand 20-30KI guess my overall feeling would be to network with like-minded people that possible could bring other contributions to the table (knowledge, capital, etc.)  

This means they want to see that you’re invested in the project by contributing your own funds, which reduces their risk.

You should focus your pitch on the questions a potential investor would have before contributing to a project.1.
