Well they made it through one unit before the break up. 

There both located in the North West part of Berwyn.I grew up in Oak Park, right down the street from Berwyn.I believe, you could break up the town into 3 distinct areas.

Management issues, asset location, need for capital, investor/partner breakup, tax issues?

Just remember if you write up doc to cement the partership, EXPLICITLY spell out how the partnership will break up, spending time now, when the deal is good, mapping out what will happen when the deal is bad, will save you much time and headache.

My partner and I have a property in SE Portland that is in the final stages of development for a duplex.We purchased the property with the intention of rehabbing the home on the front end of the lot and then partition...

So up until last year, I used to use Turbo Tax, which even last year my taxes were getting a bit complex for TurboTax. So this year, I looked up a CPA that my family already had relationship with. He is a pretty smart...

She still runs background checks on all people over the age of 18.She says she does this because if the higher earner were to leave (divorce, breakup, death) and stop paying rent, she doesn't have to go to court to evict the remaining tenant (if remaining tenant does not continue paying rent) but rather call the police because now the remaining tenant is trespassing. 

Ask to look at their contract offers, ask if they understand and have used the following clauses in their offers; hybrid offer, delayed settlement, banking days, automatic extension, check funds, study periods, vertical break ups, front porch clauses, substitution of collateral, seller annuities.....to mention a few.

Life still goes on and presents people with reasons to move regardless of season: a new job, a breakup, home sold, etc (your tenants moved too right, so they went somewhere). 

I guess one way to mitigate the breakup cost would be to have a really strong understanding of all of the stuff that is being managed so the transition could be facilitated.
