Structuring a partnership deal
Hi all,
Just curious on how you'd structure a deal with a partner with the following information. I'm going to bring about 30k to put towards downpayment and closing costs of the purchase and the property will be in my name as a second home. My partner will bring about 50k for rehab and furnishing.
Here's what I'm thinking. Since I'm managing the property, I'll take 15% off the top of all bookings similar to a management company. Then my partner and I will split the remaining profits based on the percentage of the money we brought.
Does that sound like a good deal for everyone? Thanks for your feedback!

Consult an attorney for development. Partners should consider if they plan to hold the property forever, or for a set period of time. I personally recommend a short term, like 3-5 years, where partners are required to review performance and vote to keep the property or sell and split. This gives everyone a way out.
What if one partner wants to cash out because they need the money? Allow them a way to sell their share to the other partner(s). This allows them to leave without requiring the other partner(s) to sell a deal that's performing well. What if the partner(s) can't buy the other out? Can they sell it to another person and bring them in as a partner? Do the remaining partners get to vote and approve/deny the new member?
That's just a few sips to wet your whistle. It's a lot to think about.
Yeah, definitely a lot to think about. Thanks!
