If you go with the partnership route1) You need to manage the money going in and out of the business bank account.2) File a partnership return and be responsible for issuing K-1's3) make distributions to you and your partner for cash flow that you receiveYou will likely spend many hours on a nice gesture.I may want to consider instead to give a christmas gift or a bonus for early completion of projects.

But now with the joy and headaches of non-metered units, trying to wrangle 3 different set's of persons into playing nice, etc etc.. 

I've painted more walls, ceilings and trim work than I could ever count in my lifetime and *I* suck compared to professional painters, and most of my paint jobs could pass for lower-end professional jobs. 

Nice way to house hack!

Hi @Mason Weiss,Thanks for the compliment on my research, it's nice to have some open dialogue with someone familiar with the Phoenix market!

.: I live near Nice France half the year.

Some of them even walk off the job, even after they pull permits and are technically responsible for the work.  

A nicely done fully renovated home here is around 1.1-1.3m; this home is a 3 bed 2 bath 1300+/- sqft with a lot of 5500+/- sqft.

For example, an ADU is nice for a rental, but not every home buyer wants to pay a premium for an ADU on their property.This would be case by case and property dependent.

They have have done a great job outlining all the possible things that can go wrong and what  can go right.
