Is one of these more favorable than another for new investors looking to make our first investment as straightforward and predictable as possible, while also trying to protect ourselves, our investment, and ourselves FROM our investment?

Visiting Cordova I fell in love with the area; all of the strip centers were full, people were driving nice cars, the demographics were favorable, what could go wrong? 

So I’ve been doing a ton of research on my market, analyzing deals, making connections etc.. and I have a partner who is suggesting that the deal be structured 65/35 in favor of him even though I’m the one finding the deal and all he’s doing is providing down payment funds.Am I crazy to think that this deal should be structured as him providing all the down payment funds and me doing literally EVERYTHING to be structured 50/50 in terms of profits?

How do I structure the transaction so that he won’t pay taxes and I can buy the property on favorable terms?
