Also, the whole point of hiring a PM is to handle tenant, maintenance, and rent collection, so if your partner isn’t actively managing but just supervising the PM, IMO not worth having a two people essentially looking over the same tasks.Contributing financially for one person and the other having no financial stake raises decision making questions, such as when to sell, how profits will be distributed, etc.

@Rory DarcyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

It is a well established belief in the financial industry that there is an inherent conflict of interest when financial advisors are compensated on sales commission.  

If it’s doable financially I’d recommend the duplex.

Quote from @Paul Azad: Quote from @Geri Randall: BUYER BEWARE: Goodegg distributions "paused"Goodegg has stopped distributions on the offering I bought a couple of years ago, called Congaree Villas, and has not been forthcoming with revised financial projections that explain why it has done so--even though it says the property is still cash flow positive and has adequate reserves.

Unfortunately, unless you see the underlying financials as well as supporting data for those financials, you do not know whether there actually was cash from operations to pay your distribution or not.
