@Jonathan Ortiz Wow! Lots of great information. Thank you! We actually have another business as an s-corp, so I am a little familiar with how that works. I appreciate the help.

@Brandon Hicks Thanks for the link. I'll have to read that thread to understand land contracts a little more.

We are getting ready to make our first investment purchase this year. I'd love to know of any deals you have going on in the Las Vegas / Henderson area.
Welcome to BP! I'm new to REI, as well. I've really enjoyed the Free Course that Bigger Pockets offers that basically gives a low-down on a lot of questions beginners have.

Also, another concern is the Las Vegas market. Cash flow is pretty low already, it seems, so having to split the profit 50/50 on a buy and hold wouldn't give either of us much at the end of each month.
It would be a shame for your husband to lose his brother over $100 profit a month. Remember one thing, no matter which version you read of the story. The tortoise always wins the race. I won't do business with family or friends in any way, shape, form or fashion. I love my family too much to lose my relationship over having a few more bucks in my pocket every month to buy things I don't need. Its just stuff.
Yeah. Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely want to make sure we are on the same page in writing! I would hate to ruin the relationship. I guess, too, I just wouldn't know what to pre-address so a RE attorney would be very helpful. Thank you.

Welcome to BP! I am a REI newbie living in Las Vegas, but you are way ahead of the game already having basically a mentor your whole life. That is amazing.

Ok. Thank you.

I am hoping to speak with a RE Lawyer about a potential partnership with my brother-in-law. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't see any on BP in my searches. Thank you for any help!
