I'm pretty new to landlording and have never held a position as property manager.Joint ventures can be beneficial to both parties if the numbers look right and your cross your legal t's and dot your legal i's.

I agree with Jon that reading the Beginners Guide is a good start , also the search engine is helpfull in finding books,and past threads that may be helpfull..Good luck in your venture....

Being as they are my parents they would more than likely simply loan (no interest)/give me the money, but I want to approach it from a business standpoint A) to show them they would get better returns than just sitting in the bank and could be great supplemental income for retirement years and B) I'm not looking for a handout but truly trying to learn how to structure deals for private money in the future.That being said those of you who have partnered/joint venture would you be so kind as to share some of your different agreements?

Any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, or other entity which sells, exchanges, or leases its own real property;What I don't see in the FL real estate brokerage code as an exemption is if a layperson can buy their own real property.

be joint venture partners.Anyone have LLC vs S-Corp comparisons?

I do hope to venture into other types of investments down the road but I figure I should probably learn to walk before I try to run...

Always had the dream of being financially stable in my 40s/50s and have ventured out looking in stocks and whatnot, reading some books, etc.

@Dewayne Gammel In the past few months we have had several threads going on Joint Ventures, Partnerships, etc.

In joining this site I would like to network with those that have ventured before me and to continue working on my "education".
