Purchase price: $635,000 Cash invested: $10,000 In the process of closing.

They can contribute half the purchase price, half any equity, half any money you've put into the property etc.Then have an ironclad partner ship agreement. 

A STR purchase won't help you do this. 

The other half are caveat emptor.2) When buying through an individual that likely isn't following state real estate laws already since they likely are in violation of the state brokers act....you probably arnt getting a disclosure even if state law requires it.

Any real estate attorney whom i can hire?

@Vincent DeLucia check out our website where we have the entire Metro Detroit area listed by Property Class and the 183 Detroit Neighborhoods.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I purchased the property 10 years ago with the idea of it being a long term investment.

Hey @Anne Christensen - Having been on both sides of real estate meetups (attending and hosting), I can tell you they're absolutely worth your time if you pick the right ones.
