I could set this up so that their rent increases went directly to the mortgage company,  I can bank all my other investments and pensions etc, and NOT contribute a dime to this mortgage and it will be paid in 30 years.  

My most immediate information needs are:- Which updates are most important to make to our home to make it appealing to renters when we move- How to find a good property manager for the home when we moveI'll be asking lots of questions in various forums and will do my best to contribute to conversations where I can.   

We agreed his contribution would be in part financial and to be responsible for taking lead on coordinating & executing the remodeling/renovation work required to flip properties.When we first discussed getting into business together, we attempted to weigh our % split based on the contributions that were being brought to the table.

Very sleepy town, stopped in the only open business - a small cafe.  

I look forward to your contributions. 

Hopefully I can help contribute more to the Canadian RE section of the forum.Ready for an exciting journey!

If it were my deal and I wanted it I would figure that he should contribute what the regular finders fee would be plus if he is going to manage the property he would get an additional managment fee of 10%.  

My advice (almost always) is that if you are contributing financially to the property you should be on the title.

I have a long way to go and a lot to learn but at the minimum I felt like it was time to network and contribute on the BP site.

I recently found out how contributions work for a solo 401k and that rental income is passive.
