If you can't do that, unfortunately you get nothing for "pain and suffering."

partnership consist of a cousin who is skilled in rehab and maintenance, mom who has credit and investing money to put in, and me to handle administration and hunt for deals. we are putting in the same amount of money and loan from hard moneyquestions:-how to best structure the deals-if he is doing the rehab: how should that be approached- from an investment and payment for rehabbing the house/deal (s)-legalities that should be covered-any other recommendations...thanks in advance

@Sthefany Lamoureux Although there is such a thing as a stupid question, yours is not one....On FSBO's its a great idea...your ultimate goal is to expose "pain points" and discover motivation for selling.

I wonder if they installed a new meter or fixed the meter somehow.Our local water company is also a pain in the neck to deal with. 

This hopefully will save you some of the growing pains. 

Get a neutral lawyer involved if you want to minimize the pain and somewhat control the outcome. 

If we pull off to the side and wait it out, we will likely never catch up to those that forged ahead.Some will inevitably leverage themselves too much or invest in properties more susceptible to pain, but as long as we develop sound criteria, it shouldn't matter if the next recession is tomorrow or 10 years from now.

It’s one of those things that you almost want to tell a newer investor to try it so they can see how “painful” it is as it is a good learning experience.

It’s not long enough to get through an eviction process I’ve tried but still a pain and confidence killer.

@Jordan DooleyYour excitement may turn into more financial pain..
