There's a positive trend in creating Joint Venture Real Estate deals, with modern communication and business software implementation there's an advantage to having multiple partnering companies.

There is a distinction between a joint venture where all members are responsible for generating their own profits and where securities compliance is not required, and a passive investment (otherwise known as an "Investment Contract") where investors are relying on you to make a profit on their behalf.

I'm not sure which is true, but I calculated the 35% above based on the $380K tax bracket for married filing jointly

Last August, CalSTRS bought out its partners' 10% interest in four joint ventures it entered into in 2005 with First Industrial Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust.

That number is up from 34 percent in 2016 and 40 percent last year in the same poll.The survey was a joint effort by advocacy group Bay Area Council and public opinion data firm EMC Research.

The money we use for flips is held in a joint savings & checking account.
