Unfortunately our contract didn't spell this out very clearly leading to this situation.

We do edit for grammar and spelling, and can provide a suggested topics list to bloggers.

If you clearly spell out how the partnership operates, you are less likely to have problems with your partner.

Do you have any language spelled out in your lease with the tenant?

I spoke with someone from Sage (not just a robot), and they said that it should be spelled out in the contract, not much help.

In case you have to spell something specific out for a tenant. 

If you spell out the project details maybe you'll get better pricing.

If not, and my goal was for the LLC to be considered a joint venture/ partnership, would I need to spell out specific roles/ responsibilities in the operating agreement?

This is made clear and spelled out in our pre-check in emails, rental agreement, and welcome note.

Sure, the HOA probably won't like it, but by the time they get around to actually doing anything about it the place will already be sold and the banner will come down.I'm a newb, but according to him (and it makes sense to me) simply saying owner financing rather than spelling out what exactly it is you're selling will drive more calls.
