Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $360,000 A cash (silent) partner and I are buying this duplex, flipping it to an ARV of $460,000 then doing a cash out refi or selling it for a profit.

(About year ago).she was silent during this time and when I closed the property, I renewed her lease for 2 years (a year and 4 months remaining).Now , she claims that she has been sick with all her children due to the mold issue.

You can structure it as an LLC or joint venture, which offers clearer tax and liability benefits.Your son doesn’t need to be on the loan or title if he's a silent partner, and you can manage the mortgage, credit, and insurance.

The new meter is likely more accurate, which could explain the sudden increase.If your GC ruled out leaks, check for silent water waste—running toilets, leaky faucets, or inefficient appliances can add up.Compare historical usage (gallons consumed) rather than just cost to see if the jump is truly abnormal.3.

You are correct that if you have silent partners (LPs), you would need to set up a syndication.  

One of the roadblocks weir running into is the potential tenant will keep communication and go silent once we bring up background checks.

@Clark Harbaugh, Given the favorable tax rulings over the last few years (in particular revolving around trusts and their equaling a beneficial interest in the underlining propery) the IRS has actually been much more lenient (or at least silent) on these issues. 

The original posters / plaintiffs now go silent on social media but the secondary investors still believe the original posts and simply repeat it continually in an effort to convince themselves that the money they should have never invested because they couldn’t afford to lose is going to be recovered in short order.Of course this is just fantasy on my part, I have no way of knowing how much of it, if any is true.  

If there are delays I can work with that but going silent for months was not something anyone would want to deal with.I'm still somewhat dealing with it.  

I'm mostly a silent investor on that one, so I don't have much control over it.
