If Tom, Joe, and Pat are investing their capital and each of them has a specific job, laid out and explained in detail in a partnership agreement then a normal joint venture may be possible but if they do not have jobs in the partnership then you will want to consult with a syndication attorney or a securities attorney that specializes in private placements or real estate syndications.

We also have kids and as they get older I wonder if it would be more feasible and fair to divide the property as a real estate partnership that would exclude my brother and me but include my 2 sons and his 3 sons.

I needed office space following a partnership dissolution.

I have a w2 job and my option is just doing partnership/ investing.

I'd leave it at 50-50 if that's their contribution.HOWEVER (and that's where these deals get sticky), you need to bill the partnership 100% for your work which affect cash flow.

I think Atlanta and Tampa REIAs have a partnership, too.

If the property title is only held in one person's name, you likely want it held in an LLC so both parties interests are protected.Just be mindful that an LLC with more than 1 member requires the filing of a partnership return.

e.g. disregarded entity, partnership, C Corp?

As I look forward to building momentum, I am looking at partnerships for rentals.

I'm looking at connecting in partnership with an investor.
