There are exceptions, like what was mentioned by @Nathan Gesner, if you are an employee of the property owners, and you exclusively manage their properties, if you're a resident manager, living in the building that is being managed, or if you are someone who manages properties owned by a single entity and have a direct ownership interest in it.

However, I’m new to navigating such a situation, and I’m looking for guidance on:Collaborating with neighboring property owners to reduce costs and share resources.Structuring deals involving land contributions and joint development efforts.Attracting capital partners for projects like this.I think this could turn into a win-win for everyone involved, but I want to ensure it’s planned and structured correctly.

The HOA governs those areas and may assign exclusive rights to amenities like parking or pool. // Differences in Control & Management TIC: All owners collectively manage the property, often requiring group decisions on maintenance and sales.

.🔹 Step 9 & 10: Engineering & DrainageNot the most exciting part, but if your property needs engineering reports (like soil testing or drainage fixes), get it done now.

This is going to be a very individual scenario, but most likely it isn't worthwhile.

Look into tools like CoStar, LoopNet, and ARGUS for commercial property analysis, and consider books or courses on underwriting and market analysis.

Borrowers like that.Since money is the lifeblood of all house flips, I consider this a win-win for everyone.

A few quick notes before I go into more detail on how I approach situations like this:- As mentioned in other replies, a 401(k) match should (almost) always be taken advantage of.
