I am a investor/joint venture/hard money lender/anything if it pencils out.

The key here is if one of you dies, ownership will be passed to an heir.Or you can take ownership as "Joint tenants" which means you both own the property together with equal rights and obligations.

Hint: You can also get Joint Term, insuring two lives, you do not need to be married but each must have what is called an "insurable interest" .

I recently made a deal with my handyman on a joint venture on a tiny multi unit in a nearby town.

Use a Joint Venture with the SellerBuy on sub to and a note no payments 6 moOwn itGet private loan for rehabFix itResell itPay off loans and profit at least 10 KFactor in all costs to sell

If I want to joint venture with the seller on a rehab where they have no mortgage and will let me put up the money for fixing the property, how do i set this up?

I have come across a chance to go in on a joint venture on a rental.

He doesn't charge us double for filing our joint return... 

Your knees will dictate whether or not you will EVER want to do it again for the savings.We have done many over the years & I am at the point/age now I just hire someone to take the beating.

For example, at the first house I visited Jarred got on his hands and knees and knocked on the tile to show me what tile that wasn't installed well would sound like.
