Partnership - what to look out for and what’s a fair split

Partnership - what to look out for and what’s a fair split

Investor · Austin, TX · Member since 2020 · 223 posts · 83 votes

Hello everyone,

Looking into partnering up with a partner who can fix up a small property.

They’re putting in the sweat equity and the deal and I’ll be putting in the funding. Will get a lawyer to draft up the agreement.

Would love to hear from your experience what I should be careful of, what would be a reasonable split and etc.

Thank you BP community.

Best,

Alice

    Alice, just be aware of who you are partnering with, and make very clear who is doing what.  Strong expectations up front can save a TON of headache later, clearly drafted partnership agreement is a must as well.

    As far as split?  Well, thats 100% up to you and your partner.  Typically it would be a 50/50 split on work and funding, but everything is negotiable!

    Make sure your partner has experience and a successful track record flipping or doing renovation work before you partner.  50/50 could be a fair split if everything is as you describe.
