Streamlining duties between Partners

[Jordan O'Donnell]

What is the best way to streamline or decide what duties can be shared between Partners?

I know generally on here they say that partners should balance each other out, but a friend and I have been discussing the possibility of being partners in our real estate investing. However, both of us are new to real estate investing and really all we bring to each other is a larger area to market to (he lives 30 minutes from Indy and I live about 30 minutes from suburbs of Louisville) and access to larger funds. 

Thoughts?
