However, depending on the lender, the underwriters will also want to underwrite back to the individuals.

Jay Hinrichs Sorry for the late response!

We also plan on partnering with a friend to help with initial investment, cosmetic rehab (we plan to do the work ourselves and are not looking to knock down walls or anything major), splitting property management responsibilities, etc.I am hoping the community can help me out with some questions that I am still trying to tackle.1)  I am struggling with the financing aspect of acquiring a loan with a partnership.  

It's certainly more likely that you'll get a response than a yellow letter, but I bet you'll need some thick skin for the responses you'll get.  

The more people held responsible for back rent or damages,  the more chances you have of collecting your money through garnishments, or collection agencies, etc.Also make sure you get a Co-Signer whenever possible.  

@Charlie Vollers,Yes, in Denver, I've seen many examples of the duplex getting divided into two separate deeds and sold off as two individual "half duplex" or "townhome" or "single family attached dwelling".

@Antoine Martel - thanks for the super fast response!

Some keep you responsible for the roof or structure.

You can also use a sponge and artistically dab a light color on each individual brick, absolutely not touching the mortar lines.

I will prefer having only one person responsible and maybe the other 2 as co signer?
