Hard money or bring on a partner? What would you do??

I have been investing in real estate for many years, have done a few flips which I funded alone and did all the work myself. I have learned that neither of these options are very smart. I know have a great contractor that is going to be handling all of my flips but the issue comes down to financing. I have two options here, option one is hard money. This money is easy for me to get but cost me 12%-18% depending on property and the investor involved. Option 2, I have a wealth investor that is looking to develop a partnership with me. The partner will supply 100% of the funds to purchase and repair home. The split will be 60/40 in my favor. Mind you I bring all knowledge and experience to the table, plus my contractors. Which would you suggest to be the smartest move for me to expand my business?

 I'm curious how many investors you've found to take all of the risk for 20% of the profit?
