You can create a joint venture agreement, a partnership open a LLC and let the operating agreement handle the terms of the agreement.  

this sums up my first venture with the wife....

Prior to this purchase our other vacation rentals were located in "vacation destinations" (beach in FL or ski country in Summit County, CO) so we were not quite sure how successful this venture would be since the town is not really a "vacation destination". 

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Sellersburg.

Purchase price: $40,128

Cash invested: $93,000

Sale price: $105,000

My second deal.

@Oliver Sparks Would advise to keep your potential liabilities per biz venture separate.

Then I switched to TenantCloud and that was great for a DIY setup.

Any other advice for a DIY project?

I think a big fear with women I know is venturing into real estate while still having debt (student loan, auto, etc).

Well as i talk to my brother-in-law and he starts to tell me the investment it would take to join them on their venture and I talk to the owner of my company and a friend of mine that owns his own business, things are starting to look very shady. 

@Connor Deneen your best bet would be to find a partner and work a joint venture together.
