Your LLC is a Texas LLC for legal liability purposes, and it is treated as a partnership for the IRS purposes.No changes needed.If the second member is your wife - you will simply report your rentals on your personal joint return.

Not sure how much the house is worth but if it's in CA, likely worth more than that, so likely a probate would be needed before the daughter or anyone could take title to the property from the decedent (unless held in joint tenancy). 

New to wholesaling in the Houston Texas area and just need overall clarification on proper joint venture etiquette.

Thanks @Ben HowardHere are some quick insights (lists) about the Sacramento County MFR 2-4 market:16,044 properties designated MFR 2-45,056 owners live outside Sacto County4,476 owners live outside of California884 were sold/purchased in last 365 days (~5.5%)2018 YTD: 3432017: 9432016: 8632015: 8124,520 have 100%+ equity796 are underwater12 are in Preforclosure263 marked vacant by USPS143 were purchased at auction by a trustee sale buyer1,445 have had a death of joint tenant in last 365 daysSince 2016, 676 transactions were off-market - and scanning through those buyers a lot appear to be investors as they've done 2+ deals or their LLC name indicates investment orientation.

At this point even when my closest high school friends ask me to Joint Venture i explain that we will have a lawyer write up everything. 

We commit our time and energy into a joint venture.

Also finding someone who you can Joint Venture on a deal with who wouldn't mind a small investment is another way to grow your IRA.

I'm looking for an attorney that can help with setting up a joint venture / partnership agreement between the partners.

@Kevin Ha He's right, the best way for you to move forward is probably to talk to 100 people CRUSHING it, narrow it down to 10, then do joint venture with 1.
