Most likely going with the relative, they will be able to put up most of the money for the deal and I will be handling the rest.My question is, how do we negotiate the terms of the partnership?

To form real connections with real people that are doing real deals that can lead to fruitful potential partnerships.

They clearly have an internal talent issue, major ongoing platform integration issues, failed partnerships (Yapstone), and probably a bunch of MBA pricing consultants pitching hair brained ideas to “optimize” fees.

Who would be interested in a partnership of some sort?

There are options, and partnerships are extremely powerful.

An LLC can have multiple people and be a partnership  in which case you can't receive payroll or w2- it's distributions or guaranteed payments. 

Looking for possible partnerships, and guidance to really take off within the next year!

A deal so good, a lender or a partnership will fund the deal.

@Paul Cyrus Through our partnership/funding we have a 4 unit rental unit and have a vacant parcel on a lake in St. 

@Tom SmallYou should consult a tax professional to examine both you and your brother's facts, circumstances and goals.That said, it's generally not advisable to put appreciating assets like real estate into any kind of corporate tax entity, C or S.An LLC that's disregarded or taxed as a partnership is a much more friendly tax entity.It appears the land was never put into the corporation, which might be fortuitous for you.
