@Jonathan S.Bottom line is you are the new owner and you dictate the decisions that are going to be made for your property.  

I would not allow a renter to dictate how I handle my own property, particularly based on this nonsensical COVID issue.

My two cents are that lifestyle design should dictate your (or anyone’s actions) in this regard.If you want to grow, use leverage.

At the same time, identify and get in touch with key subcontractors to get a sense of their respective scopes of service, cost and timelines.Do the same on the permitting front.You should use your understanding of the cost and permitting process to frame the terms and conditions of your purchase offer and the release of earnest money to meet the milestones dictated by project schedule.Before you do any of the above, it is advisable to make your very first step to be to figure out the market value of the project you intend to create and deduct cost of sales and the % of profit you'd like the deal to generate.

Your accountant does not know how to file a partnership return.The great thing about partnerships is that you can dictate how allocations get split without considering of capital contributions.The only consideration to factor in is that if you do not have any capital contributions, your basis would be $0 and would be limited in taking losses on your individual return based on 'basis-limitation' but that won't impact the filing of the partnership return the way that you are discussing.

That will dictate the best methods for getting the word out.

Your investing strategy and focus will dictate a lot of what, where, and how you can acquire properties. 

On my JV lending company I am telling all my mid west east coast clients quit letting these wholesalers dictate such large slices out of the deals .. the day of them taking bigger fee than anyone makes has got to be over .. work backwards from rent  figure in the new rates and come up with a new value for rehabber houses and dont over pay..

Let the tenants dictate what type of amenities they need and let them take the lead on implementing them.  

With all this money we baby boomers, and older generations will be passing to our younger heirs, and capital gains or current tax laws like they are, take a hard look at a CRT.With a CRT you dictate the return you want on your investment, as long as it is not under 5% or more than 50%.
