@Jason ClecklerIf this is a genuine tax partnership in that it is subject to Subchapter K and files a 1065, you're going to want to engage a tax CPA who will take into consideration your facts, circumstances, and goals so that the buyout can be structured advantageously.

@Jason Hendrickson, @Chris Babcock, @Frank Wong, @Brian Ellis, Account ClosedAll, thank you so very much for the kind words, encouragement, and genuine concern. 

If it is genuinely a good deal then ignore the antics.

I have a several real estate agents who are genuinely nice and helpful, but the thing is, they are all my friends.  

The people who have genuine asbestos related injuries are those who had a profession that required them to work with asbestos.

Always be genuine and true.

Only say it if it’s genuine.

Experienced investors will want to help you if you show initiative, drive, and genuine interest.

and I'm not being nosey, I genuinely like talking about people's finances and money and income and future plans etc - but I can see why people may think it's odd (I've never offended anyone that I know of, but I try to be aware that some people take money very personally).It's hard when you have these interests but feel like you can't talk to people about them  - on one of the podcasts I think it was Brandon Turner that said listening to podcasts counts and should be included with the whole idea of "you are the average of the five people you hang out with most" - it's super corny, but I took that to heart because I was unable to talk to people about my interests and felt a comfort of knowing I was still "okay" because I was "spending time" with BP and podcasts everyday and still learning and growing my interest.
