.- Using an attorney for a real estate transaction and mortgage structuring has been so easy and very cost effective.- Offering the seller more than they thought their home was worth made them willing to finance the home for 0%.Bottom Line - 1. 

Considering the complexity of the structures themselves plus the added complexities of transport/assembly at remote locations, I thought the costs were extremely reasonable.

They have a library of info on different subjects, specialized info on specific items like structuring entities, trusts, asset protection, tax, etc.

A 4 ton or 5 ton is a large unit for an 1800sqft structure.

We have been renting this out as a short term rental on Air BNB which has covered costs, but we have a somewhat unfavorable debt structure on it that limits our ability to cash flow and/or extract equity from the asset.  

Also increasing parking capacity and adding pool / outdoor space directly adjacent to the structure for future residents.

I'm looking for advice on how to best structure to gain momentum moving forward.Here's where I'm at...Rental #1:  closed Oct 2020..cash flows $180/mn...mortgage is $30k, value is $45kRental #2:  closed Sept 2nd 2021...held with private money and HELOC...all in is $60k and value is $175k...will hold this property foreverHouse #3:  purchased in May of 2021...with bank lending...all in $124...ARV in May was $153k...can list at $170k or BRRR and rent at $1200Initial plan was to flip #3 and use cash to pay down personal debt, have additional cash reserves going forward, and accelerate in real estate flips/holds. 

I am at the point where I am out of liquid assets, and have left my W-2 job to focus on real estate and a side business, so I cant get another traditional mortgage, and a deal like this could really be helpful with my current situation.So my question: What are some good ways to structure an equity partnership with 1 or more outside partners in which they provide all, or almost all of the cash, to fund the deal, and I do all the work?

There was also the issue of ever expanding landlord regulations in seattle,   and I have pretty much decided to gradually phase out my seattle portfolio.If the building was in a stable neighborhood it could have made sense to do the work it needed,   but given various circumstances including negative trend of that area of the neighborhood  (street camping and constant low level property crime) and townhouses replacing many homes in the area meaning the structure was worth zero and the dirt was worth everything,   it didn't really make sense to invest a lot in the existing building.    

Removed a non-structural wall to open up the living area to the kitchen.
