It’s a matter of clearly defining goals for the business, size of acquisitions, futre growth, target markets etcNext would be defining roles, capital contributions/expectations, decision making process and equity and profit splits.These are just a few of the main issues to map out before meeting with the attorney as they will help you with all the other detailed legal and estate issues.

The partnership is 50/50 (as defined by our operating agreement), and the distribution for each deal is determined by how much equity each investor contributes towards downpayment.

I suggest first defining which path you are looking to go down in real estate and then connecting with someone experienced in that path and provide value.

For example, if we are easily able to show the unit was rented using this platform, the dates and costs etc are clearly defined, would that hold up in court as a reasonable expectation for the guest/tenant to have left by that time?

I know, and more importantly, some of the very best real estate attorneys in my state define a process that is 100% aligned with the law.

Occupy has not been formally defined but that's another discussion.

It also avoids liability arising from assets within the trust (eg slip/fall at a property held in the trust) since the trust is a "fiduciary relationship" and is not defined as a judgement debtor and so cannot be sued.  

That would be the best way as the agreement will define the relationship and how decisions will be made. 

Most of my actuarial career was dedicated to converting defined benefit plan to defined contribution plan.

The state defined wholesaling as brokering and is requiring a license to assign contracts so as long as you are buying and selling for yourself or your company no license is required.
