Community property states see you essentially as one person because all of your property is owned by both of you jointly.

 Hello BiggerPockets Community,I am new to the real estate industry and I just want to share my first joint venture experience in the hopes that you will share yours, your direction and feedback.I met my prospective JV partner at a Real Estate event in Los Angeles.

So, I have a bad property manager who allowed my tenant to let the property fall into disrepair and, because I didn't choose the contractor he recommended, he has let my property sit untenanted x 8 months, not following through on getting me 2 comparable quotes...So, I now have to have $36,000 worth of repairs performed on the inside of the property and probably an additional $20,000 on the exterior (the latter can wait until I have a tenant...)The business accounts associated with the LLC's (jointly owned by my wife and I) that own my rentals don't have sufficient funds to pay for the repairs.

I'm looking to get into syndication, joint venture in the future.  

We file a joint return. 

These numbers are for married filing joint couples.

This is where I started on BP, been an investor for several years now, always open to joint ventures!

Does anyone have experience with structuring a joint venture or partnership in Scranton/WB area?

Also I’m going to be stationed at Joint Base Lewis McCord soon.

Joint Venture- On this forum alone there are dozens of posters in the same situation as you.
