Woohoo - the majority wins!

If timing were right, sure... but the role would have put me as point of contact and sole responsible party for a 20% share of the ROI, and I would rather partner with an investor with 20 houses and manage them, and pay all the repair and wear and tear costs for them, in exchange for running them all at a 2k/door net gain... simple win win which would be income more aligned with the level of responsibility required. 

I talk to my other real estate friends and get mixed reviews.I think it's a win-win situation, but i'm curious if anybody has experienced similar situations and if they could weigh in and give me any personal stories or advice. 

Better to move on to next property or only attorneys will win.

If you win the lottery, then please feel free, but until then, don’t use your hard earned and saved money to pay off her debt.

Just saving a high percentage of your mortgage is winning.

I then pounce, instantly offering and attempting to win one of these deals. 

If you can refi, take out enough to still do the multi-family purchase, and still cash flow the existing property (even if it is significantly less than what you cash flow for right now) then hanging onto it sounds like a win-win.

Lots of money flying around in SF and contractors are BUSY, and smart enough to know they don't need to win but 1-in-10 deals they bid.  

It seems to be a win for all.
