Appreciate any input. have it be a loan not be a partner.

A HELOC is still a loan.

@Abdullahi Mohamed @Osman KhanYes, investment residential real estate. 15% down payment. you cannot do BRRR completely since shariah law doesn’t allow one to acquire a cash loan with interest, so cash outs are never an option.

House Hacking via VA loan and 2nd home are on the table, but I am not limiting to that.3-year goal:-Look towards multi-family property or opportunities to build ADUs.

Conventional Loan How did you add value to the deal?

I used a VA loan to finance my first deal.

The downside is that I have to put in $480,000 Dollars of TI and brokerage fees, but the upside is that they will be putting in 1.5 million to redesign and improve the existing structure. 10 years from now I might have to go through the same thing, but I wanted to give you an example of how things can go wrong at the end of these leases.  

More than enough to pay off loan 100% financed @ 8%.

I want to be more confident when reviewing loan documents.

One of the investors took out a loan in their name.
