You may say the answer is: it depends on a property size, but I'd assume, you'd prefer avoiding having 15 or 20 TIC's.

One of my cards last month sent me a notice that because of my "exceptional credit" (my score stays in the high 7s low 8s depending on what I'm doing) they were increasing my credit line from $22k to $22.9k :D  I don't usually care one way or the other but the others are right - the more line you have that's not being used the higher your score.

It also depends on how you are holding title to the property.

Your split will depend on who is doing what as well as an accounting for the 100k.

Houses here are currently trading for btwn $600-$1000 a square foot depending on condition.

Maybe down the road, that could be something to consider with this house, depending on the square footage.

Depending on where I buy the unit, I may be planning to occupy the unit for the shortest time possible then rent out all of the units.Any additional advice is greatly appreciated regarding best places to find listings for what I’m looking for, a good real estate agent that’s investor friendly, good markets to choose from to generate cash flow, cash on cash return, etc.Any information is welcome and I‘d love to hear what you all have to say.

It depends how fast you plan on scaling.
