It's said that the stock market goes through a crash every ten years but the real estate market goes through a crash once in a lifetime; we experienced our crash in 2008 and I don't expect to have another crash anytime soon, perhaps just a correction.

Off the top of my head if I’m Jeff or the capital partner I’d probably say no more then 25-30 percent equity to Dan, maybe even less.

Would the Lifetime gift tax/estate tax exemption apply to the donor when conveying a property this way?

So is 30 percent of each job enough/too much?

I was thinking of a 13 month contract with the co-signer for time to refinance and reimburse any money with a percent interest added.

If you truly are finding great deals for amazing properties, have negotiated great sale prices, and want more than a certain percent listing commission, list them with a net listing and go from there. 

Percent split on profits 70/30 or 80/20,waterfall?

The VA loan is great because it requires no money down to get into the property, a 1/4 percent or more lower interest rate, but it must be an owner occupied residence.

Would the lifetime gift and estate tax exemption applies to quitclaim-related transactions?

Sell everything you own to me at a 30 percent discount to avoid the impending 50 percent correction tomorrow
