Hi, I am new to real estate investing, and a friend approached me to JV on a buy-and-hold property. He will do all the leg-work and 75% of the ongoing management, in exchange for me shouldering the downpayment, securing the mortgage, and 25% of management. He expects 50-50 ownership and sharing of monthly expenses.
My immediate reaction is that both downpayment and guaranteeing the mortgage is a lot to ask. And I asked if he's open to going 50-50 on the downpayment, and he countered that is okay only if he will be compensated for the legwork.
Since I am new to this, I don't have a clear idea of what is considered fair. Can someone please share what they would suggest doing in this scenario?
Thanks in advance!
