Thanks in advance!

Split the equity based on total contribution—cash + sweat equity.

My questions is how do we decide how much cash each of us brings?

It is possible to have little cash flow and still have a great overall return.

It's not super common because not everyone has the portfolio to afford this and not all brokerages allow cash loans.

@Angela Davisso there really isn't cash flow anywhere right now, even in lower cost markets, with interest rates so high. 

As an active investor, I was not a good asset manager and none of my properties cash flowed like I projected.  

and, BRRRR isn't a cash flow strategy. 

Hi BP Community,I'm looking to make a rental property investment and would love your input on markets to consider.I have $200,000 to invest, and I’m open to:- one or two single-family home- a duplex or small multi-unit property(I’m not considering condos or one-unit townhomes.)Here’s what I’m looking for in a market:- Strong cash flow potential (top priority!)

@Jason Nderitu we are all assuming that you are looking to borrower the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) , that the seller is requiring from you to put their property under contract with you.This will effectively remove it from the market and if you do NOT sell their property, they are out "time on the market" - during the best time of the year to sell.Typically, EMD is about 3-5% of the contract prive, but as already pointed out, many wholesalers get properties under contract for $0 EMD or less than $100.No mortgage lender is going to lend you the EMD.Your best options are to find a partner, cash advance a credit card or take out a personal loan.If you do not qualify for any of that, it implies you are either a bad credit risk or you don't think you should put any of YOUR money at risk.So then, why would anyone lend you a penny?
