Partnership Structure (Ohio)

[Robert F.]

Hey all, 

First time poster. Just got started with a single family home and have a signed lease agreement starting in July. 

I'm starting my real estate adventure with 1 partner. He put in $60k for a down payment and I took out a mortgage for $240k. He has 20%, I have 80%. 

If our plan moving forward is to rent, refinance, buy more properties, how would you set up a partnership like this? Should we form an LLC, or is an LLP easier?

Thanks!!
