Next I'll be reading Real Estate by the Numbers.I plan on purchasing a property toward September/October 2024, so I'll be learning, networking, and getting things started until then :)Thanks for reading and looking forward to contributing to this amazing community!

Usually the lender on your new purchase mortgage will allow cash out proceeds as eligible down payment contribution (provided the DTI work).

I’m looking forward to engaging with you all and contributing to this fantastic group.Best regards,Shabnam

I have a family member willing to contribute 150-250k at 4% interest only for 7 years to go toward the purchase to help out and I'm just looking for creative ways to be able to take advantage of that. 

**Neighboring Property Condition:** The adjacent row house doesn't have a roof, which may be contributing to my issues.Additionally, I'm struggling to find a tenant.

You can take out an equity line or fixed rate second on your current primary to contribute towards the down payment of the 4plex. 

My brother and I would like to be co-owners to the new property but our contribution to the purchase of the new home is by way of investment loan, so let's say my parent's home sells for 500k and they want to go in on a $1M piece of property.

This has contributed to lower inventory as sellers are hesitant to walk away from their historically mortgage costs, but the start of the pandemic era rates is now four years ago (2020) and life events often eventually force property sales.

We have an S-Corp that manages both LLCs, so I can take payroll and contribute to retirement accounts. 

By prioritizing open dialogue, seeking expert advice, and focusing on equitable solutions, you can navigate the partnership dissolution with minimal friction, respecting each other's contributions while safeguarding your financial interests.Hope this helps!
