EQUITY PARTNERSHIPS - What is it and How It Benefit YOU!

As usual Anita, you have great information... can't wait to read more from you!

KimmyJ

PS Is the event incredible or what? I am so envious!

i wil post all about it

Everytime you post something, I dont even have to read it right away. I automatically hit bookmark.

Wish I was there.

I wish you were here too. Dean and his group are blowing the tops off out here. I will post on it late.

Great post Anita. It is like jointing a REI club with partnership and fringe benefits. Anita, the only thing I am weary about is contracting with the wrong people. I have had my own set of disappointment with asset and money, that it makes me think twice sometimes. I also have very little money at hand now, however, I think it is a great idea. As things change in my life, would you ever think of a long distance partner?

Sandra

Hi Anita,

Can you provide a link or assistance on where to find a Partnership Form so you can, as you said "form a partnership and you lay out the guidelines".

Any help finding the sample document would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Anita!! That is the information that I need right now. I have to opportunity to lock up a great package deal from an investor that is selling 40 properties. I have to work the numbers to make sure that it will work, and if it does, then this is what I will do.

Thanks!!
