How should profits be split on a 3-way real estate investment?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
Jonah A asked:


I am involved in a 3-way investment on a rental property and we are being forced to sell because of a DOT project. Our profit on this property will be approximately $75,000 and we need to figure out how to split this up. Being close family members, we weren’t too concerned about figuring this out we bought the property.

I would really appreciate any suggestions from real estate investors experienced with partnership investments like this.

Here are the figures for the capital and work/mangement invested by each party.

Investor #1:
Invested $150, 000 by taking out a regular home loan.
Lived at the property and payed “rent”.
Did 85% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #2:
Invested $75,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 0% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #3:
Invested $25,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 15% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Thank you!

Im looking for the absolute software *****?

cajungirl asked:


I’m working in a finance company. We are investing large sums in immigration cases and are looking for a program that can track time lines, portfolios, diverse time sensitive investments, job creations and some personal stuff like results of background checks, so on and on
I imagine it would be some mix of an investment software as also an information management system. Any ideas out there? It has to be very easy and simple user friendly. Where do I find a genius who can develop something if it not exist yet and how much would that cost to engineer?

New construction townhome not done by escrow close date? Buyer ever have right to cancel and get deposit back?

Saturday, March 8th, 2008
Isabella asked:


I’m under contract on a townhouse for investment property in Texas, and escrow close was scheduled for Aug 1. Completion has been pushed back at least until Aug. 21. The property management (which is paid through assn. fees) neglected to lease it for fall, although it was built primarily for students. Now I am awaiting closing on a townhome that is virtually unleasable until at least Jan 1.

Questions are: How long can completion go beyond scheduled escrow close date before buyer gets the right to back out and not lose earnest money? Does this have to be explicitly stated in the contract? Would I have to add a contingency and do I have a right to do so as a buyer?
