What should I review before taking on an investor partner?

The answer

Clarify objectives, capital, ownership, decision authority, responsibilities, distributions, records, exit provisions, and relevant legal and tax requirements with qualified advisers. Do not treat a shared interest in rentals as sufficient agreement. Model uncertainty and explain risks without promised returns.

The operating plan and governance need to fit both parties. Keep investment solicitation questions separate from ordinary educational content.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
