In this agreement, the capital partner holds title and the real estate investor manages the renovations and markets the property.This is a very simplified version and is intended to be a template whereby you fine tune the details with an attorney to correspond with your goals.Once you have a completed agreement by your attorney, you can keep using it over and over again.

It simplifies things for you.
