@Mike Dymski I wish I could do something like 20% going forward but these days not sure how to go about that without lots of work which does not sound appealing.

How would you feel if the "skilled"  handyman mis-wires something and there is a fire? 

Every penny you borrow to buy something else cost $$$ and its time value should be considered.

Theoretically, I could advertise "no deposit" and charge something like a $500 move in fee, which is non refundable.

This protects you from wasting your time and effort on the properties in the event something happens to blow up the relationship and prevents your family member from obtaining new debt on the properties without you knowing about it.

You may find something there.If you find a file you like, be sure to leave it a review! 

You have to give up something to get something else.

That's something I really want to avoid. 

I would love to be part of something like this, and I am highly motivated to get involved in real estate.Thanks!

Hey Brad, I do something similar.
