If it were a 6-8+ unit multi, maybe it makes sense, but the juice doesn’t seem worth the squeeze on this one.

Consult an employment law attorney familiar with your state and local law for the final say.The juice may not be worth the squeeze. 

It definitely got the creative juices flowing, however, and I believe that I can help my mother out tremendously and create a HELOC for myself in the process.

Nearly all the big "VA specialist" loan providers have those juiced up VA profit margins (relative to conventional), and the only reason I'm saying "nearly" all is because I've not surveyed 100% of all mortgage outfits in the United States.

There's not enough juice for the squeeze here.

With those types of gutter systems the ceiling joists are run outside with a board/gutter belly on top, fascia/rim board attached at the joists, and soffit attached the bottom of the joists.

@BJ MinLarge multi family no question, spread it out between 3-5 deals as an LP and take monthly distributions and wait for appreciation to juice your return.

The lenders that pop up in the "mortgage broker search engine" for reno loans are the same ones who, 3 months ago, were spamming me for my brokered <600 FICO FHA business -- the bottom feeders with juiced up profit margins.The service and rate leaders cut them off to focus on their core business, which makes sense.Keep the earnest money small, and the close of escrow long.

It seems to be an interesting proposition as you can leverage your net worth to gain equity into a deal, but of course there is downside risk if the deal goes belly up, requires additional capital, or if the loan turns recourse (due to operator fraud, etc).What is a fair expectation of equity split of the GP portion to KP a deal with the potential risks of liability? 

I have a lady who will give me up to $50,000 as needed just with a telephone call, her rates are high, but I don't mind paying the juice because I have confidence that I am able to assign my contract quickly using the Control and Roll formula and the Auction Marking.Good luck, be safe,Charles
