I haven’t got as many bookings for the upcoming season as usual and I’m working hard to turn that around but I think throwing in the towel at this stage is really premature. 

Taking premature distribution from a retirement account and getting hit with taxes and penalties might cost you 40-50% of the amount you take out so I don't think that is a wise move especially when you have some alternatives.

My question is: How do I effectively go back to my partner and explain that this is not good for me, explain I need this to be 50/50 as we are coming in with the same amount of cash, and that there are ways to make sure his loan is covered should he or I exit from the deal prematurely?

I have just begun my real estate investment journey to financial freedom, only being introduced to this world about a month ago.I know I still have so much to learn, before I even set out to find my first deal, so that I can do everything I can to set myself up for success.I realize that my question may be a bit premature to ask for me, but something I've heard a lot on the BP podcasts and in the books I've been reading is the desire to get into real estate because you hate your job. 

The day of closing, the buyer bailed and left my friend scrambling to pay for his premature expenditures. 

@Marston Garceau First off, a premature welcome to Colorado and congrats on taking a step into real estate.
