I would buy an investment property with more money down for you, let them live there and manage it, and add their "rent" to an ownership stake over time.

Who all own the entity and what are the percentages of ownership?

We closed a 2.5M purchase here in So Cal using 12 month business bank statements for a dispensary owner. 30 year fixed rate in the mid 7's.Alternatively, you can go the conventional route, but you cannot have ownership in a cannabis business,    ie: a W-2'd worker, lower down payment.If you want to brainstorm, lets talk to see what may be your best options.Thanks

I'd like to properly account for this in my cost for acquisition and ownership for roi use cases.  

true cash flow is only going to come either (1) after many years of ownership, when the property is stable and rents have gone up; or (2) with a completely different, probably tougher strategy or niche.think about a down payment, closing costs, light repairs, rent ready costs, commission to the property management company, then you fix a dishwasher, then in year 2 the furnace goes.

However, I am also open to remote ownership opportunities.

You can settle privately with your partner based on your agreed ownership split, but you will handle the entire tax liability.

I saw two recent studies comparing rental costs to home ownership.
