Hello Michael,I am interested and willing to re-write this into a partnership.

When I looked at the return on what I was getting vs the work put in I could not pull the trigger. 

I've been meaning to get involved in real estate investing for some time now, but just never pulled the trigger.

If you can put equity into a deal, you will be in a much stronger position for a partnership.

A real estate broker recently offered my partner to send deals our way for a 20% partnership interest in the deal.  

There are differing legal opinions as to whether the deed transfer triggers a “Due on Sale” clause which could void the mortgage, but in practice I have never seen this happen.I've also had people tell me: "As long as you do not transfer beneficial interest in the property, the due on sale clause does not get triggered.

Definitely need to build outs in the contract so if it doesn't work you can get out quick.You need a business attorney to draft the partnership agreement etc. and also do the lease so you are protected.You will need to spend money upfront to protect your interest down the road and reduce damages.No legal advice given.

Welcome aboard Dan Hatch   I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I to feel that multi families are the way to go.

If anything, the lessons here is 1) make sure your partnerships meet the desirable credit score, 2) make sure you meet requirements for B2R Financing, but still a great tool to use when refinancing your property. 

Might make you rich ;)I majored in Econ w/ a minor in Business, and after pulling the trigger on my first property in 2012, built a $mil portfolio by 30 yrs old in less than 2 years basically from NOTHING.
