My potential partner and I have agreed to split everything 50/50 and I was thinking of holding all holding/cash to close funds in escrow and run it through my LLC, but would be interested to hear how any of you structured it in a way that protected yourself in the event that one partner turns out to be problematic. 

We have enough capital now to purchase a property and and we are blessed to have capital left over every month as well, which we typically invest in CDs.Here are our current options: 1-Buy a turnkey place that has nothing to do with mom for cash flow of $200-300/month plus potential appreciation, overall ROI of 15-20% 2- Ask mom if she would move closer to us in San Diego, buy a small place here, have zero cashflow but at least we have another property in a great appreciating market and are no longer spending the $800 on her rent3- Buy a place for her in Orlando, same scenario as above but obviously a lesser mortgage since its FL and not CAWe found a great turnkey company we liked so if we do option one I think we will use them, but it just feels like if we do that we will still be tossing away what we currently pay on her rent. 

We then used that to buy a 4 plex and put all of the 'cash flow' towards paying that note off within the 5 years and now have both properties cash flowing nicely for no more input from our SOLO401Ks.Right now I am working with a seller that is looking to sell a portfolio of about 10 units with seller financing and he is open to doing it non recourse.

Benefits for my sister:- She gets into home ownership without any cash up front because I paid all the money down.- She starts building equity on her unit rather than renting. 

I am new to real estate investing and BRRRR.I don't have much capital so I am wondering if it's still possible for a BRRRR strategy to work if I am doing a 20% downpayment on a house and have some cash left for renos?

I include non-paying tenants as part of the vacancy risk included in calculations I make prior to purchasing a rental to ensure it will cash flow.

The other issue aside from the giant hassle is now that the payment is higher I'm less likely to cash flow and will be at slightly  higher risk of default.

Your cash on cash return does not compound.
