The repairs are something I've already thought through - I plan to speak with each tenant at the beginning of their lease term and also provide them a PDF/work doc that outlines what to do when a repair is needed.

I will outline my current system below along with some questions - any advice on where I should focus my efforts would be appreciated.I am not wholesaling right now; strictly looking for my own deals.Target properties: Looking for low-end BRRRR's (ARV <$120K) and low-to-mid-end flips (ARV $120K-$300K). 

This agent may have outlined the work to ready the property for market and the work may be underway, by the guidance of the agent.

Seller still owns the property and the JV agreement outlines how I put up the remodeling expense and then at the sale he gets X out of it (whatever our agreed price is) and I receive Y out of it (proceeds above seller's agreed price?)

Outline your expectation very clearly and then if he is not following your directions you can consider changing.

@Ashley DavisPermit responsibility can be outlined in the actual contract you signed with the general contractor and they will charge the cost of any permits required. 

Yeah, he's the guy that's on all our podcasts, but the man wrote a great book that outlines so many strategies that really allow you to expand your financial possibilities.It's less than 200 pages, and I read it in 3 sittings. 

Of course, the more details you share about the property the better, so here's a generic outline to make sure we get all the necessary info to evaluate what to expect:Property Type: (Condo, Single Family House, Multifamily Property)Total Doors:Purchase Price:Year Bought: (Buying at bottom of market obviously makes for more cashflow today)Financing: (Cash purchase, financed with percentage down, lease option, etc.)How You Found Property: (MLS, Off-market, Wholesaler, Foreclosure, REO, etc.)Property & Neighborhood Rating: (A-F, 1 to 10, neighborhood quality and condition of property)Net Cashflow Per Door:Cap Rate, CoC, Appreciation, Etc.: (Any other metrics or ROI figures you think are important to the deal)You can either answer in this format or write a paragraph or two including all the details.

Form a legal partnership with all the outlines for who gets what, who contributes what. 

You should get a HUD aka closing statement that outlines exactly how proceeds are distributed at closing and who is due what amounts.
