First Deal with a Partner

[Luke Carl]

Doing my first deal with a partner. Financing is in his name. Does the realtor contract have to have my name in the section that talks about who's name the deed will be in? I guess thats just so the title company knows if the wifes name or a partners name is involved? 

We plan to have title in both names. Of course this brings up the LLC discussion I suppose I need to form an LLC and how does that effect the deed?

Thanks
