As you grow you will need to limit your partnerships or clearly define them.If someone wants to JV on a venture we closely define the parameters will are looking for if they aren't experienced (mostly after their money, them having a deal locked up).Can they help manage the property to save $50-100/month... no (that requires us to create more systems for our internal staff)Can they do the rehab themselves... no (that makes my life too complicated)

He owns over 70 Verizon Wireless franchises, and is also a fairly successful semi---pro poker player (has a couple mid-6-figure cashes) I say this because I understand that he's a businessman, and the bottom line is that he wants to make profit from his business ventures.

Look into Joint Venture Agreements.

I think we should do a fix and flip and use that money to get those bills paid off and then if its enough money use it to refinance my house and put money down so that our monthly mortgage is lower which would make living a lot more comfortable and pave a good path for me to start my real estate investing venture does anyone have any suggestions on how to start with less risk so my wife can b more comfortable or where to start I've been reading a lot online especially BP !!!

If this is a long term venture then create a LLC.
