First Day - How to work with partners

[Andy Braun]

This is my first time here. I am looking for information on building a partnership. I have identified a group of friends. 

My thought: buy 3-4 properties in a target area to start. I would have 2 active partners and 5 to 10 silent (money only) partners.

I haven't scoured the site yet but wondering what the thoughts are on investing this way. What do I need to consider in incorporation?
