I am partnering on an exciting opportunity with a few friends / investors. 

Many times I tell my friends to just keep the debt, bite the bullet, and pay it off. 

I have a friend who PadSplits in south Atlanta.  

Some use family and friends or partner and give up a percentage of the deal.

Many of my friends lost everything in that fire..

Investors should be extremely cautious with Qualified Intermediaries that also represent (and get paid on) replacement property solutions or Qualified Intermediaries that refer clients to their "associates" or "friends" for replacement property solutions so that they can get paid a referral fee or those that actively put replacement property solutions together in order to make money.  

2) what are the basics of setting up this sfr so it’s Airbnb friendly as in getting security cameras, keyless entry, etc?

As they mention one of the best solutions is to make sure water does not flow toward the foundation it should flow away from it for many reasons structurally but water is not your friend.

I had a broker friend look into the address.

The first few weeks were great, but at some point, you realize that all of your friends are working and you can only watch that much daytime TV.
