I live in California and am forming a partnership with a local real estate agent in another market. I am really happy with how we are working together. I need advice on how to structure the ownership of the business. We will be buying houses and placing them within an LLC. I will be providing a majority of the funding for the LLC, and they will be contributing as well. Here is an example:
House #1: Acquired with $50K in capital
Partner A: $40K
Partner B: $10K
1 yr later....
House #2: Acquired with $70K in capital
Partner A: $35K
Partner B: $35K
How do I create the ownership structure of the business?

THANK YOU
Sean, if this is a 50/50 partnership, then you would want to have a distribution schedule that says you want to first equalize the extra capital that you contributed. You need to be made whole before you guys take 50% of cash flow each. You have to work with an attorney to draft this. Please also run this by your CPA as well.
