Plus, their compensation is not directly tied to the outcome of individual assets.

Now my question, I was thinking about a HElOC loan to use as the downpayment. should I use the HELOC from my primary resident or should I tie up a condo that I own free and clear?

Total Monthly Payments for 60 Months: $1,677.67 X 60 Months = $100,660.20 Balance Remaining After 60 Months: $334,864.68 Total Received: $334,864.68 + $100,660.20 + $1,000.00 = $436,524.88 Total Interest Earned: $36,025.08 Seller is interested in financing this deal, but they are concerned about low down payment and how they are going to protect their interest during this transaction.

Should we set up a business to buy our properties under or should we leave them tied to our individual names ?

Life’s gotten very busy, and I might just cut ties with a half renovated property as I now live three hours away in Portland Maine and would like an extra 30k or more to put towards a upcoming house hack.

I’m assuming that they took their management fee and paid you the remaining majority. 

I'm not looking to take advantage of my tenant but I don't want to be taken advantage of either.The value of commercial real estate is entirely tied to what you can earn from the property.
