after attending some of my local real estate investment group meetings i am leaning towards starting my real estate investment career by doing a joint venture with a highly recommended investor in my group. he is the co-organizer of my investor group and teaches a 4 Saturday (which i am not taking) on real estate investment strategies n sustainable repeatable systems. i have bin reading and downloading every piece of information i can on real estate and am confident i am ready to get my feat wet. i would still be actively searching for a personal investment property which i will be beginning to actively searching for on may 1st .. are there any specific questions i should be asking as far as joint venture
