Joint ventures (1) – due diligence

Setting up your property business with someone else can prove great strategy, with both parties bringing different abilities and experience to the party. But getting into bed with the wrong business partner can prove a disaster. Do you know who your JV partner really is?

Many property courses teach how vital due diligence is in any joint venture – but rarely explain how you can check up on your JV partner. This episode introduces Bonallack & Bishop’s exclusive “JV Due Diligence Checklist”, as well as showing you how “The Trust Equation” can help you identify the right joint venture partner.

Joint ventures (2) – the paperwork

Going into a property business with another person can prove really successful.But, sadly, sometimes even the best of friends or family members can fall out – especially when large sums of money or sizeable debts are concerned. And far too many property investors cut corners here.

This Masterclass will teach you the crucial questions you need to ask when entering into your joint venture, and introduces you to the issues that need to be included in your legal agreements
