I have a friend who is interested in partnering with me on a triplex deal.

I'm looking at a deal that includes tenants on Month to month, no paperwork, apparently. the rents are strong, but I'm concerned about inheriting.

He told me he was looking for partner w/ someone w/ 700 FICO score + to do a fix & flip and split the profits 40/60.  

The Houston market has been incredibly strong and diverse - and has flooded before with no dire residual effects - I predict the same, Houston will rebuild and continue its growth.

My mom wants to partner with me and buy property together since she has perfect credit and a better chance at being taken seriously by the banks that will give us a mortgage. we are going to go 50/50 on the down payment and all expenses/maintenance. we will be getting an fha loan and putting 3.5% down which will allow us to have a big emergency fund.

Looking for mentorship and/or a partner.

Should I work with a partner?

Find a multi-family in an area turning around or going strong and it's worth 10 times the sfr.Sure you can possibly get good cashflow on a lower end multi in a bad area but you have to consider your exit.Don't let the fact that we're in a tight market force you into a property you will regret in the future.  

I'm currently looking for a flip house...and possibly some partners...would you like to meet up for coffee and chat? 

I personally am not experienced in flipping so I'd certainly opt to partner with someone that has much more experience than me.
