I wouldn’t get a 15 yr mortgage, even if that builds equity quicker because you are simply putting more dead money into your property.

Maverick simply gets a referral commission and has no long-term ties with you or the local provider. 

As of my last update in April 2023, the definition of an accredited investor includes, but is not limited to, the following:Income: Individuals who have had an income of more than $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) for the past two years and expect the same for the current year.Net Worth: Individuals with a net worth exceeding $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse, excluding the value of the person's primary residence.Insiders: Directors, executive officers, and general partners of the company selling the securities.Professional Experience: Certain professional certifications, designations, or credentials or other credentials issued by an accredited educational institution may allow an individual to be considered accredited.Knowledgeable Employees: In the case of private funds, "knowledgeable employees" of the fund are also considered accredited investors.Institutions: Banks, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits, and trusts with assets exceeding $5 million.By imposing these criteria, Regulation D is meant to ensure that all participants in such an offering are capable of fending for themselves or sustaining the risk of loss, thus requiring less regulatory protection.Under Rule 506(c), it is not enough for an investor to simply claim accredited status.

It was those 2022 delivered  projects where I became an accidental landlord that led me to focus more attention on building to researched housing needs rather than simply replicating the inventory other's bring to the market and it's been a game changer for me and my business. 

I equated it to a property per year simply because in the Denver area it's very difficult to find cash-flowing deals that make the investment worth it, so I figured I'd be looking at several properties to reach my financial goal. 

The main thing to keep in mind as a true investor is, can you simply add square footage to the main property to get the same sale price if you're planning to sell the property.

Most investors focus on what can they buy now with their available capital instead of simply what is the best investment for their capital without limitations. 

@Chris Johansen I believe the part you're missing is you are not "simply loaning him money" under the new iteration of your partnership arrangement.

As long as you specify the bank name, address, and interest rate in the lease, you're meeting the legal requirements.To avoid the hassle of having to have the tenant sign the lease twice, you can simply leave the account number blank in the lease and note that the deposit will be held in a specific account at a designated bank.

Simply sending a query can return no results if that database doesn't contain the information you are looking for.
