Although this partnership is a good fit on paper, I would highly recommend that one's partnership somewhat compliment your personal investing style.Sometimes, that polar opposite creates a good balance; but also it challenges.I am providing this post mostly to share my personal observations and also, because there are equally as many request seeking partnerships and funding.For those individuals, I submit that that partnerships with colleagues, family and friend inherently involved possible nuisances in operating style, priorities, and realistic timeframes on the amount and division on your net return of investment.In summary, think, plan and have those discussions prior to forming your partnership, funding etc...these are just my thoughts in hindsight.
