Lots of ways to do it depending on how much you trust the guy.If it were me Id get the operating agreement for the partnership lined out so expectations are set and open an LLC with 2 person ownership.Let him get the loan in his name, put the thing in a land trust with a third party trustee with fiduciary responsibility like a lawyer, then file a second security deed for whatever you put in.

I have a handyman who I trust completely.
