This idea is another path along the same lines as http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/50/topics/72998-credit-partner-arrangement---sandwich-lease, only this is lot more simple and has more options (I can sell outright too).This method I'd sell kind of turnkey style, but as a "leaseback" (with sublet rights) that I'd prepay so they would get their down payment and closing costs back (maybe I could even pay directly to the escrow account?)

Up north condo always implied an apartment building style arrangement.

My only suggestion would be on the next one, keep your style consistent, such as color and style of cabinets.

Each FIBI chapter offers it's own style of connecting with investors.

For small areas, look for suitable paint on the clearance rack.Use random patterned earthy colored carpet to help hide stains.Place any landscaping on a sprinkler and/or drip system with an automatic timer so the tenant doesn't have to "remember" to water the yard.

Inspect the RE, consider functional obsolesence (style, materials, age, etc.).

If you truly believe the move will be beneficiary to your life style and there are great investment opportunities than of course it is a win win situation.

You may want to follow a Monopoly game plan and try to trade/1031 to a multifamily apartment if that suits your style.

Style complex 30 to 50 units, 30% I'd take 20% and invest in stocks of tried and true companies paying above average dividends (10% or higher) Than I'd take the other 50% and use it for HMLsThat should allow me to quit my day job and start to REALLY enjoy life!!

After 25 years of rehabbing some of Houston's most notorious, distressed apartment projects and building over 12 garden style and wrap around style properties from scratch, working for some of Houston's largest general contractors, we have decided now is the best time to capitalize on our experience in this industry.
