I have to be honest, I am surprised this is legal. 

My late father had a partnership with a family member, nephew.They were friends for as long as one knew them, however later probably due to differing expectations, duplication and poor communication the deal went southIt was an informal arrangement on a commercial property.They were doing the exact same thing (duplication of duties)To be honest i am skeptical of partnerships unless its the variety of bring a deal(syndication/flip seeking private lender) and the other is a money partner (private lender/passive investor).Maybe also listening to a mentor where you stand to gain from the other investor's experiences and contacts (sponsor).

Please, be gentle but honest!I

I’ve been really trying to set realistic expectations so I really appreciate your honesty. :)

First off I appreciate your honesty and transparency telling me the reality of what it takes to even consider starting.

It's all networking and marketing (and honesty if you want to be a good wholesaler).

Genuine guy that answers any questions I need with honesty and professionalism.

The common ground that needs to be present is you need to 100% trust in your partners honesty, integrity, and work ethic.

It requires complete honesty and transparency by the agent.   

Hey Carrie, I appreciate you sharing this story and being honest. I
