We have a DBA and an EIN however we have not officially formed the Partnership and filed paperwork with the state (Maryland).

It is great to see the partnership between churches, the community, and host families! 

@Matthew BaileyI’m not a CPA but I have seen many tax returns of my clients whose businesses that they own themselves through an entity (corporations/ partnerships etc) pay rent to another property that the client owns.

I’m leaning towards the partnership but I’be never partnered before.

I also have a General Partnership for "holding".

I started an LLC for real estate investing, basically buy and hold.  I am finding out that others want to partner and have 3 different requests.  My question is do I start a new LLC with each person that I believe wil...

I would highly suggest 50/50 partnership with a family or friend or if possible do 3 people in on the deal.

My understanding is that a "tax partnership" is formed by a joint venture regardless of whether a business entity is formed.

I would say if you don't have a way to buy the property yourself nor the money to do the work.Remember part of something is better then nothing at all.Make sure a good contract is written up, scope of work, and have it reviewed by a Real Estate Agent.All documents reviewed or written up by  a Real Estate attorney.With out knowing the partnership arrangement it is hard to really answer your question.I have done several deals as a contractor!!

The owner of the land is most likely not going to split the land before selling it to us.I prefer not to be a legal partner with that person, as each of us is going to have a different business, but I would like each of us deal with owner of the land and also builders to some extent independently but still harmonically.Without having a formal/legal partnership is this going to happen?
