Hi Michael,Getting funding for a down payment on real estate can be challenging, as most of the funding typically covers the other 80-90% of the property's price.

But contracting  is part of the real estate business , flippers are there to make as much profit as they can , agents want the highest commission they can get , landlords want the highest rent they can charge , and contractors want as much as they can get . 

Yes he has to buy the spouse out, either through sell, HELOC, or refinance and then the question being with the equity how would you best utilize that for starting into real estate investing? 

Have you ever considered using private money loans for your real estate deals?

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Just download all your transactions monthly to excel and just code them there (rental income, security deposit, insurance, taxes, and etc).
