I feel like this isn't the optimal set up for the deal and will avoid this in the future..

I'm only concerned with rent upside, expense optimization, additional income sources and how much of the cap rate I can expand in the years that I own. 

Either way, I think Shawn is on the right track... it's really a win win scenario for him and at this point it's a discussion of the optimal decision for his particular situation. 

Hi Guys,I'm a part-time real estate investor and full-time digital marketing specialist in the field of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

If you or someone you know would like to double-check that their tax advisor is providing optimal services for a competitive price, reach out.

We can do the complete structure work too but you know..going for the optimal here.

Excluding some edge case scenarios the consensus generally is the buying term and investing the difference is optimal for most people.  

I know I could establish my own business and make my ends meet until I am able to optimize and begin figuring out how to increase my income, but once again, it comes down to me not know what path to take and where to get started.

If so, is there a way to structure this scenario optimally?

How's that for optimism - LOL
