Austin, Tx, Fix and Flip, Partners

[James Sinclair]

What advice do you have for creating a partnership for doing Rehabs. I am thinking about trying to put one together here in Austin, Tx. The thought is that four or five people that have jobs but want to be involved in a "fix and flip" could do so at lower risk.

Of course there could be conflicts without some good guide lines to start.

Seems like lots of cooks in the kitchen. Everybody's role needs to be defined, written down and notarized. You don't want 5 different people and their spouses deciding what flooring or cabinets to put in. You don't want one of their closet dream of being a trim carpenter to come to fruition and decide they will do the carpentry work to save a few $$$. Or one of them to hire their loser painter nephew who painted a wall one time so they can help him out. Personally I think it's too many personalities to get involved in something like this.
