a pro tip that i've gathered is to look into term life insurance policies for each partner. here's why:partner #1 gets a term life policy with partner #2 listed as sole beneficiary, vice versa. they determine term length & value based on about how long they plan to hold the property, and about how much equity each of them will have in the deal at that time. partner #1 passes unexpectedly. rather than partner #2 having to default to going into business with #1s family, it's written into their partnership agreement / trust docs that in this situation, #2 has the option to buy out #1s interest in the deal. #2 uses the proceeds from #1s life insurance policy, to buy out their half, and #2 is now sole owner of the property.these are the things that no one wants to talk about, but discussing all possible 'worst case scenarios' up front with a potential partner can help you avoid some sticky situations. it also provides all parties with peace of mind, which allows for way better business decisions to be made.this is not legal or financial advice; this is a suggestion to talk with your insurance broker and see if this would suit your partnership's needs. and remember: partnerships can take any form!

The properties that see lower taxes will generally be the ones that have not increased in value relative to the other properties in the county/municipality/SD, and vice versa for the ones that see higher taxes.

If your Captain was wholesaling he wouldn't be any more successful than an E1 at doing so. 

The areas such as Irvine have good schools, which draw buyers wanting in the school districts, not vice versa.
