It isn't enough to 'hurt' my budget, but is enough to help make their life a bit simpler financially.Ultimately this is 100% completely dependent on your personalities and how you two work together...or don't.

Books are good for concepts, ideas, etc. but if you want to really learn something you should do it.

I started looking at smaller town properties in Kentucky, Illinois etc mostly because the buy in was reasonable and I could at least get proof of concept without too much risk.  

What a concept indeed! 

There's fractionalized real estate and then there is tokenization, which are different concepts. 

A title company should be able to give you definitely answers here, and I suspect that the solution is simpler than you're thinking. 

It is funny how people act like tiny homes are some new concept.

I’ve been interested in real estate and the concept of house hacking since early high school, so now that I’m actually getting to the point where I’m getting serious about getting my first property, I wanted to ask a question that I’ve had and have been looking into recently.

That gives you the flexibility to feel out your money partners, prove your concept, make some money and then scale up to actually pool investor capital.

That's interesting.Realistically, it'd probably be simpler and more efficient to just have someone else co-sign for a vehicle, which is probably what I'll end up doing.
