Bremner..I think we have some common characteristics :) When you found your first property- I'm sure you used the 70% Rule to analyze the deal- right? 

If I put down 50% and he puts down 50%, where and how do the funds join together and get transferred for the purchase.Once the house is purchased, what costs must be taken into account?

Are we able to co-own a property 50/50 and still qualify for an FHA loan?

I would think most GC s will gravitate to insurance work then work backwards.. and us fix and flip guys who need best pricing possible will be last on their list.That no license rule is a thorn in my side too.

The three touch rule, although a good idea, is not an actual rule or law.

I want to buy another property with bank financing once again, and I am not a DIY guy, so that rules out foreclosures where one pays cash sight unseen. 

My mom wants to partner with me and buy property together since she has perfect credit and a better chance at being taken seriously by the banks that will give us a mortgage. we are going to go 50/50 on the down payment and all expenses/maintenance. we will be getting an fha loan and putting 3.5% down which will allow us to have a big emergency fund.

Unfortunately, anyone who replies to your thread with information about their own company is going to have the post removed because it violates forum rules re: advertising.  

Union Bank but only 50% LTV

We first sprayed ~50/50 bleach everywhere to just kill gross bacteria and then went back with odaband (fungicide).
