Consider defining clear roles, ownership percentages, and responsibilities upfront, and ensure you’re protected if the partnership doesn’t work out.Since you already own properties, it might be worth consulting a CPA who specializes in real estate for advice on tax strategies specific to your situation.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.
