Trying to get my feet wet!

[Jose Rodriguez]

Hello everyone, my name is Jose Rodriguez. I’ve been playing with the idea of getting into real estate for a few years. Here’s the thing, I don’t have any proof of income for the past 2 years and my credit sucks. I have an off the books gig that does generates income for me every month(about 5k) untaxed. I am partnering with a childhood friend who has the same vision as I do, he has great credit and worked for the most part besides since the covid hit, and we both have about 10k to invest. Since he has the credit and work history, will he be the one to put stuff in his name? Or do we co sign together!
