Pete/Tampa area on unrelated persons living together in a home?

They keep the group small so you're not a faceless person and you can get questions directly answered.

Every room has a few pieces of furniture/personal belongings.

That is MUCH harder to do from a distance and when your personal experience may be with newer homes that don't have issues like this.

I’m finally ready to take the plunge into real estate investing, but with two kids, I’m nervous to use any of my own cash for the first project. Any tips on how to navigate this?

we build ground up and don't collateralize anything. we build at a discount in Columbus Ohio and we build cheaper than every builder I've seen in our market and because of that we make each person self fund a retainer account. we don't extend any credit to anyone. opposite of what you are saying. builders that bring value call the shots. 

I have asked if someone is teaching this offer structure and one person said it's common in land and the other explained it as a win-win situation. 

The IRS has a “same taxpayer” requirement for tax tracking – if the same person or entity is exchanging, it’s easy.If not, we’ll have to bring in our structuring attorney to ensure the right steps are taken to maintain 1031 eligibility.
