Are you looking for cash flow, equity, or both?

I'm considering doing a 50:50 equity partnership with one of my associates and was wondering if it's possible to structure a househack in a way where I would be living in it (for at least a year) while my partner does not.

After working with a few tools;   the reality is that you might start with a county with 300k houses, after filtering for vacant, high equity, my house tyupe 3/2 >1970, a few other filters,  the list is down to 200. 

I've been looking at cash-out refi options to put that equity towards purchasing more investment property(ies). 

  - I have a decent amount of equity saved up and own a primary home.

If the in-place rents generate don't generate enough cashflow to cover your debt service, you'll want to plan to bring additional equity to the deal to cover the shortfalls.

Having achieved a positive outcome with my first investment, I'm now eagerly preparing to close on my next investment property.

From a tax efficiency aspect, a lien on investment real estate equity is by far superior to 401(k) or an IRA.Paul

The beauty of it is, ALL of it CAN be met, with an understanding of what energy efficiency really is, and how to use treat material sizes/dimensions as a positive,...not a restriction.Why did I write the above? 

If you pass away, you don't necessarily want all of your equity going to a friend.
