What are your experience with a Partner? Good, Bad, Ugly?

[Neil Polehn]

Hello All,

I am thinking about investing with a partner to cut the risk, share the workload and have someone who can shore up my weak areas and be the local boots on the ground .  What have been you experiences with a partner in the past?  Do you think it's a good idea?  Whats the best way to find one?

I would like to have someone local to the area I invest in to keep the contractors in line and verify work, etc, but also be able to brainstorm ideas and learn from as well.  I am worried about getting involved with someone I dont know well and find out we dont get along or have incompatible work styles and have an ugly "break up".

Thanks!
