While many of these partnerships can be fruitful, some turn out to be less successful, with unfortunate outcomes that could have been prevented with proper planning and safeguards.For instance, we recently encountered a case involving an investor, or "money partner," who contributed $650,000 to a real estate deal facilitated by another investor, the "developer."

Hi @Sam M.there are great answers on this post but I want to clarify something.In a real estate transaction most of the items are negotiable.

Hello,
Little background I’ve been buying and selling since for 15 years. Spent a couple years as an LO. Been looking to expand resources from just wholesellers. After speaking with some agents I’m a little confused....

Choose my own real estate agent

@Adeel MakdaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I get that sharing a house isn't ideal but some people love the house hacking approach.Personally, if I own one piece of real estate, I want it to be the one I live in.

Quote from @Mary Holland: I'd love to hear about your experiences and how they compare to other types of commercial real estate financing.

Thanks for letting me know how it landed! 

I think you know more about real estate, construction, finance, than 95% of your peers.

I work with Property Management in Houston but can recommend some great networking/educational events for you :) Check out Space City REI - there's monthly meetups with an educational speaker relating to real estate investing and there are plenty of Investors looking for Wholesalers out there!
