Hey Lawrence,As it relates to traditional financing...As far as I know a NOO (Non Owner Occ) investment property is going to require 20%-25% down depending on the lender.You could however:#1 Get a partner on the next property (ie their borrowing ability + your cash)or#2 Live in your current duplex for at least 1 full year then I believe you can get FHA lending on the next property if you intend to move into that as your primary residence.

I am a partner in an LLC, one of our employee/owners was injured on the job.

My partner/fiancé is interested in doing wholesales and I want to do flips and some buy-and-holds.

I am a partner in a granite fabrication facility.

@Drew MacDermott - There are a million different ways to structure the beneficial ownership, but I can start with an example of a deal I'm doing right now with a total of 3 partners.

It also has a clause in it that would give you an "out" if for some reason you aren't able to lock in the funding: "This offer is contingent on Buyer receiving adequate financing and approval from Buyer’s partner."

And sadly, the disappointing end-of-the-story is that raw emotions killed the deal - the disgruntled partner, not the villified banks.

I've heard horror stories about property management- this seems too good to be true.Also, what should I watch out for when partnering with my real estate investor acquaintance?
