Why partner vs going at it alone?

I own 1 multifamily property that I purchased/financed on my own.  I'm currently in the process of saving up to purchase another similar property (which has been a slow process so far).  I've thought about getting that next property sooner by partnering, but I'm not 100% sure why I would want to do that.  What is the benefit of partnering to purchase a buy-n-hold vs going at it alone?  

Sure I will need to contribute less money in a partnership then I would on my own, but the wealth building benefits are also diluted.  So while my snowball that I'm building gets a little bigger owning 50% of a property vs sitting on the sidelines, if I save up to do it on my own, that snowball gets a much bigger boost.

Ryan Moore - with a partner you can do more deals in a shorter amount of time. You have two heads to think about problems rather than one. Also, you have someone to share the risk with.

Like they say 50% of one deal is better than 100% of no deal.
