Partnering with a General Contractor

[Sean Brennan]

I just read a nice blog by Mike LaCava about flipping houses:

I found the idea of partnering with a General Contractor very appealing. Perhaps I could find a deal, put up some of the money and get a general contractor as an equity partner. I think this would be great because I have no construction experience and would love a highly motivated GC on my side.

Has anyone done this or have any ideas on how a deal like this could be structured?
