First, I would get to the bottom of what did buy and what potential liability you have to the asset and to what degree you must invest further to mitigate or resolve the asset.

If you are involved in the buy and hold strategy of real estate the number 1 thing we all look for is the bottom line.

Next year, due to market conditions, I expect to increase my income quite a bit with the few rentals I have and most of this will go to the bottom line. 

Due to the nature of the military life, my wife starts at the bottom every time we move (not conducive to growing her salary, but adding to savings none the less). 

Not incredibly low, still in the reasonable range, but towards the bottom.

I am assuming that you got a good deal and the few extra dollars will not effect your bottom line ? 

Everything else is whatever you agree on how to split the bottom line,  Equal contributions to the company would be good to equally share the expenses.  

here are some ideas.....If it is a Trustee sale, go immediately to the office of the trustee with your written offer to purchase the property.Make sure your offer is all cash with no contingenciesMake a copy of your deposit to be attached to the contract offerLet the bank know that a $5,000 deposit is being help by your lawyer or title companyWith your offer attach a HUD-1 to show the bottom line the lender will receive (remember you are paying all settlement charges).

Currently, true corporate NNN leases have rock bottom low cap rates (4-5%), but are maintainence free till the tenant decides not to renew lease.

Identify a project or perspective property and know it inside and out top to bottom before you bring it up.
