I've aligned myself with some agents and that has worked out well.

As any long-time member of the site is aware, we are very careful about who we align ourselves with, and that will continue to be the case.

An agent can be very useful but their motivation is not 100% aligned with a buyer.

I would assume that the rent would be aligned with the same rules of loan modification which allows home owners a ,maximum monthly payment of the 1/3 of their income.I would also think that this solution is temporary.

Consider providing incentive to that trusted individual & correctly structuring your arrangement that provides incentive for behavior in alignment with the success of the property.Best of luck

You can always partner on a larger apartment building you just have to make sure your risks and goals are aligned with the other investors.For example I have some that do not mind partnering but will invest in a medium area that is not a war zone but is not the nicest for a 10 cap.

Through my research I found it best for me to invest using the BRRRR strategy here in metro Detroit and would love to align myself with fellow, more experienced investors! 

This doesn't seem to align with your goals at all, and I would pass and get your tenant out ASAP to sell(and maybe try to 1031 to reduce the capital gains hit).

Should schedules align, I'd love to join!

Some of it is subjective and based on their personal experience, but a lot of it is just facts that you will again, decide if it aligns with your risk tolerance, experience, and goals.
