Being as they are my parents they would more than likely simply loan (no interest)/give me the money, but I want to approach it from a business standpoint A) to show them they would get better returns than just sitting in the bank and could be great supplemental income for retirement years and B) I'm not looking for a handout but truly trying to learn how to structure deals for private money in the future.That being said those of you who have partnered/joint venture would you be so kind as to share some of your different agreements?

I suggest if you truly are running the houses as a business that you structure what you do around that joint contribution otherwise I would separate the activity.

Any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, or other entity which sells, exchanges, or leases its own real property;What I don't see in the FL real estate brokerage code as an exemption is if a layperson can buy their own real property.

be joint venture partners.Anyone have LLC vs S-Corp comparisons?

A pipe didnt freeze , a 1/2 inch sweat joint came apart , I just spent the last 4 hours with a rug doctor sucking water out of the carpet , and now have 4 large blowers going .

However, it's pretty inexpensive (a friend and I are paying $19/mth jointly to be members) and they have an extensive library of educational materials.

I am gathering the lease is signed by all three together and I am thinking they are jointly responsible correct?

@Dewayne Gammel In the past few months we have had several threads going on Joint Ventures, Partnerships, etc.

There may have been no need to go through probating the estate, if the property was jointly owned (both the man and ex-wife having their names on the deed); in many places, there is the notion of joint ownership with rights of survivorship, so that the passing of the one co-owner leaves the property to the remaining co-owner(s).Now, the possibility that the ex-wife put other names on the deed complicates matters - they now have ownership interest.

I was going to focus on wholesaling, but right now I'm working the joint venture deal angle and looking for private money lenders.
