May this year bring you strategic wins and profitable ventures in an evolving market landscape.

Hey Steven - An LLC is a solid choice for structuring your partnership since it offers liability protection and keeps things clean when splitting ownership and profits.

I have partnerships where I take a management fee off of topline and split profits from bottom line.

Maintenance costs are a huge factor in the profitability, or not of any investment property. 

For active investments I advocate considering how you can diversify WITHOUT ceding your competitive advantage nor the superior profitability of the niche your in.As an example my business is running an investment fund and syndication high interest commercial mortgage loans secured by income producing real estate. 

We want to detail the responsibilities, capital contributions, profit and lost sharing percentages, decision-making process, have dispute resolution methods, and exist strategies.

Many investors focus on short-term returns and rent growth, but my target investment vehicle is people.By focusing on workforce development, education, and community stability, we’re creating a system where tenants and stakeholders benefit over decades.The time horizon is long—70+ years—but the goal is to ensure sustainable growth and community value far beyond immediate profits.3.

Marie, Please keep in mind that when you see people referencing with these funds it's because they are invested in these funds, bought the sales pitch hook, line and sinker and are being told by the operator, "don't worry about the market, we're experienced and conservative so you'll get all your money back and a tidy profit.

Some one could offer her a better deal with profit sharing.

If you find something that works well as a short-term rental, but doesn't work well for you as a home, you'll have money but be dissatisfied when you live there.You don't even need it to produce a profit.
