The value that your wife is bringing to the table is actually easier to convert into a percentage of ownership in the deal because you should have a pro-forma and financial projections for the deal and the commissions that she will not charge actually have a dollar amount that is easily calculated based on the numbers you are projecting.Our business model is based on syndications for large multifamily properties where we bring equity from our investors as limited partners and we participate on the general partnership side of the deal alongside our operating partners (which in your case would be the builder).

If it needed gutting out anyway, or it had just been rehabbed, the potential for financial loss would vary significantly. 

I was fortunate enough to start investing at a young age because of my parents, but I was more or less grandfathered in with a financial advisor for the last 8-10 years.

I am seeking advice on a creative situation that will not bog us down financially, but help to build wealth. 

I understand the basics of it but I actually want to get started and pursue my dream of financial freedom.

Your responses are greatly appreciated and God bless you all as we pursue our goal of financial freedom.

If there is no financial penalty I would definitely shop around and, hopefully get seek out a better loan for you. 

We are extremely excited to take this next step to financial freedom and can't wait to own property all over DFW!! 

I am looking for financial tips for my particular situation....I am a firefighter and also a self employed business owner.

One of the worse things a new investor can do is try to learn the game with a financial monkey on your back.For any other questions you have; I'm happy to connect with you on the phone or in person to help point you in the right direction.
