@Will StewartYou can pay $100's to network with other new investors and to learn what one person has learned about real estateorYou can spend $20 to attend a local meetup to network with seasoned investors and take the cumulative knowledge from that entire networkThere are people that genuinely would benefit from those courses; I've just met very few that ever thought it was worth it.If your time is so valuable and limited that you need someone else to organize the information into a course and sell it to you, you should probably just be investing in syndications or taking some other passive approach anyways...

If you are a joint tenant with right of survivorship on a property how does the accounting work for tax purposes?

They would have one lease and be jointly and severally responsible for the lease.

They dont understand its designed to enrich others and genuinely have been hoodwinked into believing they have a God given right to openly express it.

My "joint and several liability" tenants - 3 college boys - lease is up end of May in San Diego, CA. 

That is a red flag for many people.My suggestion is to obviously let your intent be known but come from a place where you are interested in building a genuine relationship with them.

That makes evictions harder and more costly.What most landlords do is get something called a "joint and several liability clause" inserted into their rental contract.

You can leverage your Individual or Joint Taxable account to borrow cash at a low interest rate, and utilize it for a down payment on another rental property.

Do I need to notarize my joint venture agreement?

If you do wait two years before selling, up to 250k of appreciation are excluded (500k if filing jointly).
