Dextera3, to answer your question-Keeping your personal assets protected from claims of other people can depend on how you hold title to your personal residence (joint tenancy, tenants in common, etc.)

My mother 86 yrs. is on the deed (joint tenant with right of survivorship) with her brother (84yrs).

joint venture?

You need to have want is commonly called “skin in the game” which means a combination of cash, equity, out-picket expenses already spent on the project, joint venture partner, cross collateral-able property etc typically equaling 20% of the loan size lent.

This type of investment offers distinct ownership characteristics that are different from other forms of joint or shared ownership. - Each owner holds title to an undivided fractional interest in the property.- Ownership percentage on a TIC investment doesn't have to be equal.- Each owner is entitled to their ownership percentage of income, appreciation, deduction of mortgage interest and depreciation, etc. - Each TIC owner retains the right to transfer, partition, and encumber their interest in the property without agreement or approval of the other co-owners.

I packaged the deal into 14 separate Joint Ventures at a 50/50 profit share.

I know a great BBQ joint.

I skinned my knees quite a bit on the first one, i.e. the electrical infrastructure was 50 amp and not 200 amp that is needed today.
