Partner on a deal

Partner on a deal

OK, so if you are going to purchase a property with another investor and you partner on the home, how do you make everything 50/50. When you buy a home, is it legal for 2 names to be on the purchase contract? and the deed of the house?

Yes you can...

When the contract is written, both parties sign the bottom line. Somewhere in the contract, it is written who owns what percentage of the property. It is safer in a business contract be it S, C or LLC to have one owner and the other party can be setup as an employee with equal rights. When you write the contract for an equal partnership, you can agree that the two parties, we will name A and B, each own 50%. This gives both parties equal rights with further language stating who may sign future contracts, checks or any decisions making in future endeavors and if both parties must sign said contract in event of a sale. However, it can be and usually is stipulated that any an all parties/owners have signing power, or equal power to commence business but requires both parties to sign future contacts.

I hope this answers your question. All states have different contract law. You're better off hiring an attorney who can write up a contract and answer your legal questions specific to your State of residence.


Thanks

You did answer my question. Thank you. I will check up on it for my state.

Jeremy. You can have 2

Jeremy.
You can have 2 people on the deed.
Sort of when your Mom and Dad by a home they usually put both of their names on the deed.


Thanks Richie

And keep in touch, let me know if you find any properties worth moving on. Jeremy
