Trying to build out that dream team of contractors and subs as well.A mentor would also be super helpful, but like I said, still building out that network.As far as my personal situation, I have a good credit score, a decent amount of savings (200k cash) and a little more than that in investment accounts along with some equity in my current home, a mortgage, and car payments.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If each partner contributed $20,000 (1/3 of the build cost) then you would pay them 1/3 of the home value ($40,000).

Sale Price: $525kPurchase Price: $325kMortgage Left: $268000Estimated Gains: 224kMy portion of the gains (after 50/50 split with wife): $112,000Questions-Do I have to purchase a home of $525k with my $112k or simply a home of $112k or higher? 

When I buy homes with tanks I account $10,000.

Many variables to consider include the specific location of the home, the property manager you decide to choose, the history of the home and community, how well appointed the home is (what elements of the home will allow you to stand out in this market) and what months you decide to use for personal use.

So its a great gig for someone who is very detailed oriented does not really want to deal with sales and wants to work from home as an IC..

Although it appears to be in the process of being gentrified with home prices in that area increasing 72% over the last 5 years. 

I know this is not your "typical" reason to refinance, however, I am wondering what you all think about using that equity on a home purchase as buying a home right now is extremely important to us not only for just having a home, but also prices will not come down for quite some time with our housing shortage.  

Hello, I inherited a home in a small town in Louisiana.

It occurred at 10pm and the bullet went into the pillow of the tenant below him, who thankfully wasn't home.
