With a healthy protective equity buffer around 60-65% LTV, I was able to secure my principal amount so I wasn't concerned.By the way, I used Broad Financial to set up my account and their sister company Madison Trust is the custodian.

I started in joint ventures with private lenders and a 50/50 arrangement even on a 13 unit.

His theory is when the active listings in the greater Phoeinex area  reach between 18k-24k, that would be a healthy market.Do you agree with that assessment?

What about joint venturing with another investor?

I reserve 10% minimum per month, unless I have a healthy reserve built up already.  

Meet two personal service test. ( For a joint return, either spouse must separately satisfy the two tests - meaning husband cannot meet one service test and spouse can meet other or vice versa).

Post/send a Notice To Quit to both tenants - because they are jointly and severely responsible for the lease. 

I have a healthy equities portfolio of 1.3 M that I would use to pay for the building of a second home on the adjacent property--estimated budget of 250-300k.

A thought I had was to open up a joint account that we both have control of and can fund together.
