@Allan Guerra, at least in Ohio, you cannot receive a commission based on the purchase price of a property without being a licensed real estate agent.  

I'm at a point in my life and real estate career where I need somebody. 

Are you currently investing in your hometown or are you looking at out of state markets?

Cheapest marketing model I’ve put together.

I am considering a 12 unit multifamily property in my home market of Harrisburg, PA. 

Know your market cap rate and you can quickly determine whether property is worth a closer look. 

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Hello,real estate investors,I have a question for those with experience pulling home equity to fund new investments.

However, the property’s cost basis (what they originally paid) carries over to you, meaning if you later sell, you may owe significant capital gains tax on appreciation.Alternatively, selling the property at fair market value eliminates gift tax concerns, but your in-laws may owe capital gains tax on any profit.

Also for me I do not consider this as investing in real estate.

Neither your idea nor turnkey real estate is bad.
