My particular focus is buy and hold rental properties, but I'm sure we could all stand to benefit from learning about how 50% partners engaged in other areas of REI handle the question of, "Who does what, and how do we assign value to what we're doing, so we can both feel comfortable in our abilities to judge how close we are to an equitable arrangement?".
