I don't know if an ice-cream franchise is a good fit in Alaska or a Wool sweaters is a fit in Hawaii.5) How does franchise X fit with the rest of your tenants (assuming it's a retail strip of some sort) a pizza franchise in a strip mall that already has a pizza place will compete with each other and will eventually cause one of them to lose their business and you to lose the tenantJust some food for thought. 

Not sure if this is the right place, but just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Christopher "Pez" Lopez, actually most people don't know my real name and only know Pez. I just finished up my second internship wi...

General "I'll help out" doesnt cut it as this eventually falls less and less.

I could do 25% down to provide extra cash flow per month, which I would eventually reinvest into mortgage pay down.  

Be upfront with them that you're moving the property toward one year lease terms and market rent eventually.

It was the best and nicest property when it was built and was very popular for a long time, but it didn't get the reinvestment that it needed, tired out and eventually closed a few years ago. 

-They would get 60% equity and 60% of cash flow-Cash flow won't be positive until 2-4 years later-When we eventually cash out refi to buy our next property, which may be in 2-4 years as well, the partner would get their 60%-If this isn't attractive enough of a deal, would 70% or even higher make it worthwhile?

They kind of harassed me a bit for another week but Airbnb I believe eventually cancelled their account. 

They will drive the property so far in the ground that they will eventually beg you you to just take it off their hands for next to nothing.

I will have an agreement in place with future buyer and eventually owner finance to them.
