Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Chris Seveney, I hadn't looked at any details on this offering into now.Things to consider from their own marketing:Operating partner has done all of 10 flips.Their entry price point is a price that I would expect any truly experienced flipper to be able to take down very easily on their ownTheir historic IRR, while high by MF standards, is average, at best, from my experience with flips, and it is unknown if this is net to LP returns.I have flipped homes myself, so am not their target investor.  

I personally created all the artwork displayed throughout the property, and my partner and I tackled all the remodeling and landscaping work ourselves What was the outcome?

Second, by working with an investor does this mean partnering with them and using their capital for investment properties like fix and flips?

Both Indianapolis and Louisville are excellent markets to consider—affordable entry points, landlord-friendly laws, and steady rental demand.Since your background is in data science and analytics, you already have a strong foundation for analyzing deals.

if his income is strong enough and not as much debt, he should be OKHope that helps..

The only other options I can see are A) your mom partnering with you rather then selling the property to you - you become 50% owner and bring the funds and management to the rental while she provides the existing equity as her contribution; or B) your mom lending you the rehab cash out of her personal funds while also seller financing the house to you. 

Staying local and house hacking—especially now, before kids—gives you so much flexibility to set yourselves up for long-term success.Your financial foundation is super strong, and house hacking a quad sounds like an amazing first step for you two.

I'm not saying "wow, what a deal" or to copy this I'm just saying when compared to SFH or continuing to rent, the 2-4 unit househack is very appealing and thus demand is strong.
