It doesn't have to be that complicated.

Too complicated and usually ends with someone being upset.

@Leah Roberts its not to complicated, but it could be prohibitively expensive.You have three options: _Keep doing what you are doing, by including it in rent.

I guess it's a matter of assuming liability as well...just think about your exposure if things go horribly wrong...would it matter if you had an ownership position up front...worst case would be foreclosure or project completion and your partner refuses to pay you...Since you're flipping this should be pretty straightforward...the only complications arise when things go wrong.

It requires cooperation on all sides (especially if the Seller has a lender) and it's definitely a little complicated, which can lead to expense.So my first question is, how much is the gain you are seeking to offset?

@Ashish Acharya, this sounds wonderfully complicated.

Your making this to complicated.

This maybe a complicated question.

@Christopher TritchShort answer why it is better: complexity and commitment, as well as multiple complications of day-to-day operations.

These can get quite complicated.
