Hi everyone!  
I've been seeing some recent rise in forums lately of people asking if it's a good idea to go into business with friends or family.  I'm sure it's due to people trying to find alternatives for themselv...

Most of them have strained friendships over the deals and none would EVER buy another.Plan for the worst and hope for the best - in this case, I'd say the "worst" is a TON of deferred maintenance and poor PM resulting in high turnover costs and a lot of collection issues.

I've also been recently introduced to tax liens and real estate notes and have an interest in these as well.I'm looking forward to building solid friendships, expanding my real estate knowledge and experience and to finally getting involved in doing real estate deals.

Masterminds offer shared experience, friendship, collaboration & acountability.In most cases you will need to create one. 

We bought two small commercial apartment buildings with a partner who eventually bought us out (my wife and I) after the friendship ended.

I have built strong friendships and partnerships with other Subto FriendsSubto is the only Mentorship I need!

I believe that learning from and building friendships with like-minded individuals can be mutually beneficial.If you have experience with owner-occupied investment properties or are just as eager to share your thoughts and ideas on real estate investing with others, even if your new to it all like me, I'd love to connect!

Things usually turn sour sooner or later and it's way more awkward and painful to walk away from family and long-time friendships than a business partner.

HiWhen working with a friend partner in an investment, such as 50/50 downpayment, whats the accustomed way to get everything done in manner to avoid errors and losing friendships and partners?

They will try to take advantage of your friendship.
