Seeking joint venture advice in Bay Area

[Eduardo Zepeda]

Hi BP'ers,

I'm in contract to purchase a property in the Easy Bay, CA and I'm working with several partners on the deal. I'm looking for an attorney that can help with setting up a joint venture agreement between the partners. For those of you who may have entered into this sort of arrangement as well, any advice you can offer would be a huge help, too. As of now, we plan on having a robust written agreement and I'm looking for advice on the proper structure (LP, GP) and how it plays into the mortgage, liabilities, holding title, etc.

Thank you in advance for your help!
