Some things to consider with the above suggestions of creating an LLC and contributing the property + $100,000.The basis the partnership has in the property is transferred from Person A.If person A's basis in the property is $100,000 but the value is now $200,000.The depreciation would be based on the $100,000 instead of $200,000 which may 'upset' partner B.Furthermore, you have to properly structure it so the IRS does not see it as a 'disguised sale'.A disuised sale can potentially occur when Partner B contributes $100,000 into the partnership and it is immediately transferred to Partner A.best of luck
