Happy to trade deal analysis templates and investor proposal frameworks@Patrick Lismon I don't need to necessarily trade any templates but I do work in those markets.

The flood of strategies—house hacking, BRRRR, single-family, multifamily—can be overwhelming and leave you spinning your wheels instead of taking action.That’s why I’m kicking off a new series:24 posts, over 8 weeks (3x/week), starting Q1 2026.Each post will break down one key strategy, framework, or decision point designed specifically for investors who haven’t purchased their first property yet.

That’s not analysis—it’s noise.Your buy box is the framework that filters the noise into focus.

I also have a few frameworks and cadences to help you get started, all for free.Feel free to shoot me a DM, happy to share them with you.

That’s where a simple Legacy Builder Framework comes in:Lay out setup costs clearlyName the monthly expenses honestlyProject conservative, base, and aggressive scenariosBuild reserves and exit strategies into the planThis way, the numbers don’t threaten the mission — they protect it.Freedom Ranch reminded me of something bigger:Real estate doesn’t have to be just spreadsheets and ROI.

I could go on forever about all the mismanagement mistakes I've made on both, but the overall concept that set me free with managing both simultaneously everyday was setting my internal systems & renters/vendors work within my framework or they can go somewhere else. 

I’ve built what I think is a pretty solid analysis framework, but after running the numbers on dozens (and I mean dozens) of listings, I still haven’t found a property that meets my targets. 

Once they have a framework, they free up a huge amount of time so you can focus on strategy and scaling.If you’re running rentals in the Southeast, a VA can easily plug into your property management workflow as long as you give them access to your software (Buildium, AppFolio, RentManager, etc.).Happy to share more about how I structure training and oversight if that’s helpful.

@Russ Chambers, ultimately, it's best to talk to an accountant to see what your tax liability is, but here is the framework you use to get close.

The tradeoff is that you also carry your share of liabilities and you need a solid governance framework to avoid gridlock.Everything lives or dies in the TIC agreement.
