But then again, I don't study the market or study individual companies either.

Actual individuals you are talking with or more of soft-money hard-money shops for doing your deals?

If 10 of us can each fund 1/10th of 3.5% down 10 times, that means each of us individually can put 3.5% down on our own property that we own ourselves. 

Not necessarily up to the individual states any more.

This part seems straightforward enough, but we aren't really sure how to manage any income, losses, or expenses that would occur as a result of us owning the property come tax season.My first thought was to organize a two-person LLC with an equal split just to simplify the finances - with any proffit or expeness split 50/50 and taxes passed on to the individual members.

But that is an individual choice.

We've put ads out and had one individual show some interest.

Depending on what you are able to network or already have will determine your strategy.Step 3 ) With the individuals or investors estimated to take down a 595k raise in your network, consult an attorney specializing in Joint-Venture or a Securities Attorney.

You'll see the owner (LLC or individual) and where the tax statement is being mailed.
