A Good Friend Of Mine And I Just Decided To Purchase A Few Homes. LLC In Order?

Since he had the credit and I had cash I decided to partner up with him and we bought a couple homes. I drew up an equity share agreement that states in the event of sale, I am due half of the equity/responsible for half the loss and had it notorized.



As escrows wrap up this week he suggested opening a joint account for the rent checks and mortgage payments. I am wondering, should we just leave it in his name or open an LLC. I am a little weary of the joint account because I have heard that it links our credit and if he goes into bankrupcy his creditors could go after me and all of my other assets.



I would like to avoid the $800 of LLC and/or attorney fees just to have him fill in some sort of boilerplate deed.
