Four Benefits of Having a Real Estate Investing Partner

Man Shaking Hand with his Real Estate PartnerWhen you bring on a real estate investing partner, you have the potential to receive many additional benefits. Working together gives you an advantage regardless of your experience. Even if you are a first-time investor or have been in the investing business for many years, you would still benefit greatly from teamwork. As Henry Ford said: “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is a success.” What a partner in real estate investing can do is to offer a critical means of support that everyone in the investing business needs. He or she can make managing many tasks a lot easier. After all, owning a rental property portfolio requires you to be responsible for many tasks and projects. The support you get from a real estate investing partner brings you many benefits, and among them, there are four that industry experts talk about most often. With the right partner, you get their expertise and experience, the partner’s help in making business decisions, a partner’s ability to secure an additional source of funding, and the benefit of someone to share the burden of the business.

Expertise and Experience

One of the biggest benefits of having a real estate investing partner is the possibility of adding a new degree of expertise and experience to your own. Ideally, your partner should have the skills and knowledge that you don’t possess but are still useful to help you reach your investing goals. In other words, you and your partner should complement each other. Having the collective strengths of you and your partner guide you can make a real estate investing partnership one of the best decisions you will make.

Help Making Decisions

There is already an advantage with the additional experience, but you get more than that. A good partner also offers a second perspective— one that you may not have even considered— when making important business decisions. When both partners work as a unified unit working towards the good of both you and your investing business, decision-making becomes both collaborative and more creative. Ideally, a partner can provide new insights and suggestions. The new information would help you make better business decisions, and that, in turn, would move you closer to achieving your goals.

Additional Funding

Usually, a partner provides more than their business expertise and fresh perspective. They could also bring in an influx of funding for your investing business. Funding is an ever-present challenge for Creedmoor real estate investors. You really can’t accomplish a lot if you’re low on funds. And everyone knows, when it comes to funding, that two sources are better than one. When you join each partner’s access to funding and other resources, you greatly broaden the possibilities that your investing business can enter into. You would literally be able to do much more than if you went at it on your own. Another benefit of this setup is the risk-sharing. You can split the risk of your investments equally and that will greatly help mitigate any potential losses.

Sharing the Burden

Finally, owning an investment property portfolio can be a burden on your schedule. There are plenty of tasks that you have to do, and you can’t just take your time doing them. Many of them require you to perform them under time-sensitive circumstances. However, with a partner, the burden is shared. Tasks can be divided up between the two of you. This clears up your schedule so you can focus on moving your investing business forward. A partner will be a great help when it comes to accountability. Holding yourself accountable is very difficult and sometimes you need someone else to call you out when your motivation runs dry and your resolve starts to waver.
