Sent you a message, regardless would love to connect with like minded individuals in Northwest Arkansas like yourself!

My current flip was bought from a wholesaler in a partnership with a builder friend of ours who has his own salaried framers, roofers, plumbers and electricians.  

Has owner financing come up in your conversations with your friend from church?

Google is your friend on this one.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

This duplex will most simulate TWO INDIVIDUAL HOUSES.  

Do you see friends? 

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

Most of my landlords either don't accept pets at all or are super pet-friendly so pet rent has never been something we have charged.

So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save?
