., are significant and the lender doesn't have control of those. 

Does anyone have a Joint Venture Agreement/Contract where I can split a portion of the realtor commissions at closing?

He originally reached out to as a joint venture partner for this deal, & once we got it locked up, I asked that wholesaler if I could purchase the property.

I have 3 rental houses and I'm embarrassed to say that I've never had them had them sprayed by an exterminator for pest control.

Right now I'm mainly focusing on joint venturing with other investors, to get them set up in Turn Key Rent to Own deals, with good cash flow.

Short term: (1) determine investment goals (target ROI, markets, property size, capital stack); use this to dictate where and with whom we invest. (2) market research to evaluate where and what will meet investment goals (this is where my OP question about analyzing properties with rent control comes into play). (3) decide to sell or refi our 4-unit property in line with points (1) and (2). (4) analyze cost benefit of selling GP interest as capital source in line with points (1) and (2).

If there is a will, then the will controls who gets the house. 

Then, you need to call in the appropriate vendor, repair person, or replace the appliance.For example, the policies/brochures that I have seen say (from memroy here) that for a forced hot air furnace they don't cover the burners, the fan / fan motor, the induction motor, the controller electronics, the ductwork, and the heat exchanger. 

Real Estate allows you to be in more control.

This will allow you to slowly step back from the business over time, yet be able to maintain control and not lose ownership if the partner finds out it's-not-as-easy-as-they-thought-it-was and starts to coast.
