real estate partnerships

Hey all,

I wanted to know if anybody has experience or input regarding mortgage partnerships?

I am planning to partner up with a investor in Houston on a multifamily project where he will be my boots on the ground as I live in NYC currently. He has 5 properties (mix of single/multi) under his own personal mortgages and doesn't want to cap out on his personal mortgages. he proposed a deal in which im the mortgage partner and we split the initial downpayment 50/50. If there any vacancies we will also split the mortgage payment 50/50. On our partner agreement contract there will be a indemnization clause. All profits/cash flow will also be 50/50 split 

To sum it up multifamily mortgage will be on my name but my partner and I will split 50/50 all costs including vacancies. He will manage the property manager and pay all the bills every month. I'm pretty much a passive investor.  If he decides to not chip in when theres a vacancy can I bring him to court and get the judge to enforce the indemnization clause?

Is the deal he proposed what usually happens during a mortgage partnership or is there

other structures of it?

P.S. This will also be my first investment property so through this partnership I hope to learn the ropes of investing first hand.

Thanks for your input regarding the structure of my partnership.

After some discussion with my partner we came up with another partner agreement in which I would be able to protect myself more.

I would provide the seed capital; the mortgage will be on both our names. we will then transfer the property into a LLC. I will be entitled to all the income/cash flow until ALL my seed investment is returned. After that which the profits afterwards will be split 50/50.

My boots on the ground partner will find the property rehab it and handle day to day operations. What do you guys/gals think of this updated proposal?

And of course we will get a real estate CPA/lawyer to check over all documents.
