A joint venture agreement is a contract that outlines the relationship, contributions, ownership, governance, and risk sharing of two or more parties working on a real estate project. It sets the framework for decision-making, capital calls, distributions, and exit.
Ideal partners include experienced developers, capital providers, and property owners with complementary skills. The agreement should reflect each party’s role and rights.
