You are currently jointly and severally liable.

Frank and Dave are correct in not recommending this to community owners from the perspective of large and successful community owners.There are a number of smaller community owners who benefit from joint ventures with Lonnie Dealers however.

The two parties know each other and already jointly own the property, there's no reason to have a realtor in the mix. 

Hey everyone, my partner and I are just getting started in looking to buy some rental properties. We're doing a lot of research and learning right now but we weren't quite sure how some of the things on the business s...

@Daniel MurphyWhat is your contribution to this joint venture? 

and if you and your husband file a joint tax return then that tax return reports the activity of the property that your husband is on title to. 

I took on a partner on a joint venture recently and while we could have done a 25 year with interest only period to boost our cash on cash return we choose to do a 20 year fully amortized loan on a 6 year ballon to maximize internal rate of return.

Back then everything had dado & rabbit joints, solid wood all the way around, plywood drawer bottoms, etc. 

If all of them are joint and severally liable, and their income and debt ratios otherwise qualify, this would be the equivalent of a stay-at-home spouse with no income.
