Quote from @Gino Barbaro:
I partnered with Jake, but I knew him from working with him. You can partner with someone, one deal at a time, and see how the first one goes.
Values based decision making, make sure your goals and values align with your partner. Jake & I were both hard working, family men who were focused on multifamily and the long game. It's worked because our values haven't changed, but our committment to each other has only grown.
Multifamily is a team sport, especially as you get larger. Partnerships are like marriages, they're great if the partners are aligned and they hold each other accountable.
And please set expectations with your partner. Trust but verify. If you don't know your partner at all, a possible background check may be warranted
Best!
Gino
