My name is Jason and I'm in the beginning stages of partnering with the City of Amarillo, TX to construct multifamily homes for low to moderate income families. Partnering with the City using my VA Loan and HUD funds,...

Thank you in advance! This is my first time setting investing in a JV for an investment in a flip.I have a friend (developer) that fixes and flips homes and he’s in need of cash/capital to continue to grow flip homes...

While it is absolutely a business, it's also, to some extent, a partnership between a tenant and a landlord and having a clear understanding of expectations and goals is critical.

I need to come back to owner with creative options in regards to a partnership/JV or potential seller note as a last resort.

I am considering a partnership with a long time friend who lives in NE year round.

And there are several different ways that range from FHA loans (and thus house hacking), partnerships, private lenders, etc.

It was not expensive, less than $2000 for setting up a Limited Partnership for our husband and wife team, which owns the assets and gives a managing contract to our LLC which markets and manages the properties. 

There are obvious disadvantages to this method as well.If you are a capital guy and not a hands-on problem solver, you ought to create either an operating agreement for your note partnership, a formal entity, or just buy without partners (which was my ultimate solution, many years ago). 

We have a partnership that enables me to get "wholesale pricing" of construction on the front end and then we split profits on the back end.  

If passive do you want to own directly by yourself, in a partnership, or silently in a syndicate as a shareholder??
