What funds is he going to contribute to repairs while waiting for HML disbursements?

You then empathize with Bryan for his bad experience and go on to state how you are trying to contribute to making the system better.

Nice to get the monkey wrench out of the works so that many more have an opportunity to contribute and have the possibility of checking out Rich's Cancun condo.

It's like that saying, "Its not enough to make the team, you've got to get in the game and contribute!"

I have talked to my NPN buyer and he said that what ever % I contribute to this note is the % I will receive back of the profits.

If you have a business partner, it is important that they contribute fair value towards the equity of the business in return for their share and stay engaged in the business to the extent that one can expect given their share of the ownership.

@EmilioYeah...I think today's generation of younger folks is much more career mobile primarily as a result of globalization and defined contribution retirement plans instead of defined benefit plans. 30-year mortgages don't make as much sense now as they did a generation ago and thus this is a bigger impediment to a primary residence being an investment.

This professional staff often contributes to lower turnover and lower vacancy, again adding to the value of these types of properties.All-in-all, the larger the property, the more money you will have the opportunity to make, but also the larger the potential management overhead (and potential headaches).

Both cash flow and appreciation contribute to ROI and one should consider both.

Also, since my friend will probably only have one other person contributing to the mortgage payment throughout the length of the mortgage a two bedroom condo in a cheaper area makes even more investment sense.
