I borrowed $50K from a friend to buy a package of six foreclosed residential properties. Total purchase price: $100K. Friend decided she wanted to partner with me instead of just be a lender so we now own the six properties together 50/50. I will have to file Ch7 in a couple of months. My biggest concern is protecting her 50% ownership in the properties. My only idea so far: Pay her back her $50K by deeding three of the six properties to her alone, thereby setting myself up to lose my three, if I have to, without impacting her. Could really use some creative ideas and insights.
