To what extent will the parties be free to carry on other businesses - while the joint venture subsists- if one party pulls outIs it intended that spouses/partners should also be shareholders, to allow for tax advantages from a broader split of dividends?

@John TeachoutHi John I’m struggling finding Multi to buy in the broader ATL area.

Two people working at Costco for $18/hr can afford that mortgage, so that really tells us nothing about the broader Vegas market and affects the Strip closure will have on RE.

This will encourage large banks to continue to write mortgages, since they don't make their money on interest charges, they make their money through origination and servicing fees.The rub, of course, is that there's no way to know what happens with liquidity and the direction of the broader credit market.

Are there broader implications?
