Partners...?

[Account Closed]

Not sure which forum this should have been posted in but since I'm just starting out myself it seemed like a fit. 

Is there anybody who has, successfully or unsuccessfully, partnered with another person for buy and hold real estate investment? Not talking about spouses either. I have a friend who's offered to do the renovation work if I buy the property but I'm thinking maybe I should do this 100% on my own. If I did take on a partner of course I would get absolutely everything in writing first.
