It's better to do a  Joint Venture.

My name is Ronald and I'm going to jump right into it.I'm currently looking to secure a joint loan with myself, my mother and fiance for a property in Houston, Tx.

You either pay the trainer, bring the capitol to a Joint Venture deal, get close enough consuming free content, or only focus on performing paper.

., a few loose ends to tie up:  how was the deed written; joint tenants, tenants in common, or some other permutation? 

I am in a unique position where my family is in the business (contracting, agents, mortgages).Typically I know doing business with family can be very difficult, but I am hoping to be very clear upfront on expectations and partnership- I have found that doing business with family only becomes an issue when you haven't been clear on the onset the joint expectations because those conversations are uncomfortable.Any suggestions on how to structure/document everything financially?

But if you and your wife file a joint tax return then you are each the taxpayer for those properties regardless of what name is on deed. 

From there I did a joint venture with and built a house, after that I struck out on my own, but the market crashed (2008-2009).  

Hey, I own an investment property with a partner and my partner wants to borrow against his equity in the home. Does he need my permission or can this be done without me?State of Florida.

If you have someone in your network that you trust, who is good at the business side, then start a joint venture w/ him/her on a deal, see how it goes, and if it works, maybe you've found a good partner to grow w/.Onward!

You need to look for partners to bring in on a joint venture.
