I do have money in my joint acct with my wife but she doesn’t want to touch it.

I've just done the work myself: get a judgment, file to have wages garnished, place liens on any property they may own (I've had some people come up as being on joint title on a property).Some people will sent up a payment plan as soon as the sheriff shows up to serve them with papers because they're so embarrassed!

Not so dissimilar from most note joint ventures agreements.

Unless the seller/lender is added to title as a joint tenant, which would be downright stupid, the only other way they are “getting the property back” after the death of the buyer/borrower would be to foreclose and be the high bidder at the auction.

I came to the realization that joint venture partnerships are an awesome strategy.  

My business partner and I already set up an LLC and we are looking to start acquiring RE with two other individuals through a joint venture type setup. 

A follow up question I had was, does the tittle and deed need to be 50% in each partnership name ( 1031 investors and new investors) or can a new joint partnership be created with each group as 50% each owner to hold the property?

Purchase price: $1,800,000 Cash invested: $960,000120ft tunnel carwash with 3 detail bays and an upstairs business office. rebranded the carwash business to match the same name and logo as two other carwashes and offered a joint monthly unlimited wash pass that was usable at any of the three wash sites!

Attend real estate meetups and see if you can get a joint venture for the first one.

You could also consider a joint venture with someone who has the necessary experience, or see if the builder is willing to act as a guarantor.
