For those who’ve done JV deals — how do you vet your partners?

[Doug Clark]

I’ve seen (and heard) too many stories where everything looks great at the start… then halfway through, someone wants out, starts questioning the numbers, or suddenly changes their role. 

Curious what your process is.
Do you check for experience? Financials? Personality fit?
Or do you just go with your gut and clear communication?

Would love to hear how other investors handle this before jumping into a deal together.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:

I have been having problems getting kicked off the system after writing a response so I just put one sentance up to test it .. still weird but worked.

1. back ground check  no one with bad history.

2. meet in person 99% of the time

3. fly to the market review the projects they have done and are contimplating.

4. some skin to start then we do true JV deals IE our money their work.

Im definitely hitting the same snag in the forum, I think they've been doing updates.
