So you have your first rental at the top, it cash flows, you then use that money for the next property, and then another property. 

So her unit is under an exact replica of her unit above her (Duplex).

HOAs can limit your ability to rent the unit too so you'd need to scrutinize the HOA bylaws to see if rentals are allowed or if there are any restrictions on rentals such as owners can only lease their unit for a max of 1 year etc..

If I have done business with one and they were so dishonest that I literally had to engage an attorney just to get my own money back from them, I will inform you as well.

So I own a triplex with 2 of the units being managed by a PM and used for Airbnb and myself living in the third and I have 20% equity.

Here in DFW we have an amazing network so our club also holds in person events regularly.

The population is growing, job market is growing, and so many major companies moving and developing out here like Intel, Google, Meta, Amazon, etc. 

I currently go to school in Montreal so the market doesn't really interest me there for what i could paywhen I say I can get the all the money its just that it's not like I need for my potential partner to chip in but I just think that he should chip in, at least a little bit so that he would feel more "invested" in the project.

If so, which tools specifically? 

@Bob S. stairs are tricky with LVP, but we've used floating so far.
