. (:  I look forward to learning from others with more experience and contributing my knowledge as well!

We are looking at contributing 50% each to fund a new deal and we wanted to make sure we did it all the best way. 

- Where will the 20% of the rehabber's contribution be recorded?

For now, my main focus is on educating myself and figuring the ins and outs of this sector so I won't have much to contribute in the beginning and I will definitely have a ton of questions to ask the community.

Of course, it's probably a good idea to have them contribute some $$ into the down payment as well -- structuring the partnership is all about figuring out what is fair for both sides.Let me know if you want more details.

And that to me would me feel like cashflow as long as your contributing to an account for repairs. 

Thanks to everyone who contributes!  

The favorable thing abut contributing to a traditional IRA is that the contributions (maximum of $5,500 for tax year 2016) will reduce your taxable income for the year.

I was just starting out and had no money to contribute nor did I have any experience. 

I have $10,000 to contribute but would look to do all the property management etc.
