These are really questions for your attorney - the more typical scenario for a jv like this is you have a new LLC where you are the manager of the LLC and the investor also owns a percentage of it.that way you don't have to deal with transferring it etc. 

A typical five-piece surround is held together with glue and caulk, and without maintenance, it will fall apart and just cause you more problems.Instead, go ahead with a two-piece surround or even a tile surround.

Do a search on google, syndication websites, reddit, etc2) research the rang e of return for that type of investment.if the typical return is about 8% to 12%, I would be skeptical if you were getting offered a 24%+ returnBest of luck!

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: 20% down is terrific on land.It’s a non income producing asset which has increased volatility, typically I see 65 LTV max on land as of late.Thank you Brandon!

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

Typically hard money lenders will lend a maximum of 70% of the ARV so if you are below you will have more flexibility on the initial loan and the refinance (better terms or higher cash out) and of course more profit if you sell
