So lets say the money invested by the one partner is $40k The profit on the rehab sale is $100k Does each partner get $50k = a $10k profit for the investor or Does the investor get his $40k back and they split $60k Thanks How the split is done is between partners, but 50/50 implies splitting the profits.

This implies that the LL rely on appreciation to have an investment that produces any return.  

Thanks for the thoughtful response @Brandon Roof and the humor @Jesse Rivera.It does seem arbitrary, and the only reason I can think of them deciding 5% is because they are implying real estate is a riskier investment option.

Do not save all of the increase or even all of the increase above cost of living (you deserve some rewards for you hard work), Example if you get a 5% raise at the end of year one and the inflation rate is 2.5% would imply the raise above 2.5% is money beyond your previous year's expenditures.

I see this happening in a lot of places that, historically, were left-leaning but you could still make it work (as Mary implies). 

Getting burned implies something happened that you couldn't have anticipated.

Would not help the tenant with his truck, since you may be implying responsibility for what happened. 

There are a lot of good podcasts and inexpensive trainers like Kevin Ward.

After talking w/my RWN advisor when the 'assignment" to Autumn from Strategy Properties happened, he recommended a different property manager and implied that several RWN staff had moved their properties to them not Autumn. 

I don't do it any more however I absolutely see the need in hiring a trainer.
