I purchased a rental unit and did some private funding in 2016, and I will probably expand this business by doing more deals.

Getting into these properties as a non occupant coborrower (all the money invested to get in was mine) was a less cash heavy way to get into the properties versus as an investor.I already have great equity in these properties and prices continue to up.Sounds like, so far, the consensus is to sell the properties and roll the money into other non-condo units.

I have the opportunity to manage someone else’s 10 unit commercial building.

The big opportunity here is creating a scenario where both parties come out ahead, especially in situations where the seller might otherwise walk away with little or no proceeds.If you’re considering moving forward with this kind of structure, I’d be happy to assist with running the numbers or exploring funding options to make it happen.

I self manage, have a cleaner but I also sometimes turn the unit myself.

Buy a 2-4 unit, close to home.

There's no difference in a local flipping a house than flipping the small mixed-use building that is vacant in town into a couple commercial units and some apartments above. 

Get him out of your unit.

A good PM can assist with initial analysis and either help you buy or knows someone who can help you buy.

I’d be happy to assist with insights on financing strategies if you need help structuring your future purchases.
