THE BASIC RULES &
CONCEPTS OF
NEGOTIATION
BY TOM ZEEB
There are some basic rules and
concepts to remember when you are
negotiating. I will describe these
rules and concepts so that you can
get a clear idea of what negotiating is
and what things you need to be aware
of.
Remember that you are negotiating
all the time. This is true for many
aspects of your life. Therefore, even
if you are not using a specific
technique, keep these basic rules and
concepts in mind. They are the
starting point and framework for any
negotiation.
Five Things that Make a Good
Negotiator
The right state of mind is important.
As is learning the skills necessary to
success and improve. Like anything
else, there are things that you can do
to improve your mindset and skill set.
Consider these five things that make
a good negotiator:
1. Understanding that the other side
has pressure on them to do the deal
as well.
Both sides are under pressure to do
the deal. So don’t feel too
intimidated. Don’t think it is just you
that needs to perform.
If you start approaching someone
like you desperately need to buy,
don’t forget that they need to sell.
Some need to sell more than
others. And some really need to
sell fast.
Understand that there is pressure
on them as well. There is time
pressure on them. There is money
pressure on them. There are other
situational pressures on them.
Don’t forget that.
Don’t always feel that there is just
pressure on you. Stop and breath,
take a step back, and look at the
situation calmly. A lot of this is
about going around the other side
of the table and thinking like
them, feeling like them and
recognizing what is going on
there.
Just don’t forget that they have
pressure on them to close the deal
as well.
2. Wanting to learn negotiating
skills.
You have to want to learn this
stuff.
That sounds basic and obvious, but
many people think to themselves,
“I am a good businessman. I am a
good negotiator.” Yes, maybe. But
there is a lot you can learn and it
is going to take practice.
Commit to wanting to learn about
negotiation.
3. The desire to practice.
You need to be willing to practice
these skills.
I have a friend whom I told to
study these techniques. I
recommended a course to him and
he said to me, “I am a good
PAGE 3RE INVESTMENT NEWS
- NEGOTIATION -
5. Wanting to create "win/win" negotiating situations.
I know you hear the term “win-win” a lot and it might
sound a little cheesy, however it really does make all the
difference in the world.
Not viewing someone as the winner and someone as the
loser is one of the major things that separate
negotiation from high-pressure sales techniques.
High pressure sales techniques sometimes make you feel
like a loser. Especially if you are the one who forked
over a lot of money for something you maybe didn’t
need or really want.
In a win-win situation, you would say “I think I got a
good deal. I got some of value out of that”. That will
make a difference in the way you are perceived by the
other party and by the business community in general.
It will make people want to refer you to others.
Tom Zeeb has been featured by CNBC, The Washington
Post, Kiplinger's Magazine, The Washington Examiner,
Financial Lifeline Radio and National Real Estate
Investors Association's Magazine among others. He is the
President of Traction REIA and he will be teaching his
business blueprint at the February 14th MAREI meeting
and an all day Master Class on Saturday the 18th.
negotiator already. I know all that. I don’t need help.” I
said, “Just humor me on this one. You are starting a new
job and I think these techniques will really do you good.”
I had once thought the same thing myself, that I
couldn’t get any better, etc. That’s nonsense! Everyone
can get better if they study and practice the right
things.
He did actually study the techniques. I got an email from
him a couple of weeks later and he said, “That stuff was
awesome. I am doing so well now.”
He negotiated 25% discounts across the board from all
the vendors he was dealing with. He said his boss is
thrilled beyond belief and can’t believe what a great
choice they made hiring him. He applied these
techniques and totally changed the dynamics of the way
that his company is doing business with other
companies.
He said some of the stuff sounded basic but you just
don’t always think about it, especially in a big picture
perspective that ties it all together.
Commit to practicing the skills it takes to be a
successful negotiator.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
evicting a tenant
What is an eviction?
An “eviction” is the removal of tenant(s)
from a rental property by a landlord
through a court action (lawsuit). There
are three types of evictions in Missouri:
(1) a Rent & Possession action, (2) an
Unlawful Detainer action, and (3) an
Emergency Eviction.
Rent & Possession is for past due rent.
Unlawful Detainer is for violation of
the lease, the law or failure to move out
when agreed. Emergency Eviction that
allows the landlord to remove the
tenant within 24 hours of judgment due
to violence, drugs or damage.
In Kansas, an eviction lawsuit is called a
forcible detainer and pertains to failure
to pay rent or violations in the lease or
the law, or criminal activity.
When do I need a lawyer to file an
eviction suit?
If your rental property is owned in the
name of a business entity, you are
required by law to be represented by a
lawyer. If you own in your own name,
you may be able to file without an
attorney. Note that in both Kansas and
Missouri, an eviction case is much
faster than a civil case, but you have to
follow highly detailed rules and you
may find that hiring an attorney will
speed up the process and get you the
property back sooner.
Can I change the locks or turn off the
utilities if the tenant stops paying?
No. Landlords may be prosecuted
criminally or sued in civil court for
tenant damages such as temporary
housing, value of food spoiled if the
refrigerator stops running, etc. The fact
that the tenant did not pay rent, left the
property a mess, or otherwise acted
outrageously will not be a valid defense
for changing locks or turning off
utilities.
If the tenant moves in and fails to put
the utilities into their own name, you
still can’t shut them off. It is a good idea
for the tenant to provide proof of
service on the utilities before letting
them move in.
How long does the eviction process
take?
In Missouri, a court date is scheduled
about four weeks after the lawsuit is
filed. A private process server will give
a copy of your petition and the court
summons to the tenant(s) at least ten
days before the court date. If the
A review of common questions asked about
evictions in Kansas and Missouri from
MoKsLaw.com
PAGE 5RE INVESTMENT NEWS
tenant shows up to court and disputed
the allegations in your petition for
eviction, then the Judge will set the
case for trail in seven to 14 days. If the
tenant fails to appear, the Judge will
enter a default judgment. A Rent and
Possession will be final in 10 days,
Unlawful Detainer in 30 days.
In Kansas, your court date will be about
three weeks after the lawsuit is filed. A
Deputy Sheriff will give a copy of the
petition and the court summons to the
tenant at least three days before the
court date. If the tenant fails to show or
shows and agrees the charges a default
judgment will be filed and becomes final
after fourteen days. If the tenant shows
up and disputes the allegations a trial
will be set for seven to fourteen days
later. Once the judgment becomes
final, the sheriff has up to 30 days to
physically remove the tenant.
What notice is required prior to filing
an Unlawful Detainer in Missouri?
You should serve your tenant with a 10
Day Termination Notice if your tenant
has violated their lease, the law, or
failed to move when the lease expired.
If you are on a month to month lease,
you first need to provide the tenant
with a month’s notice to terminate the
lease.
What notice is required prior to filing
an eviction suit in Kansas?
Kansas law requires that the landlord
serve the tenant with a written
termination prior to filing an eviction
lawsuit. These notices include a Three-
Day Notice to Pay or Quit and a
Fourteen/ Thirty Day Termination
notice.
The Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit
must be in writing, list all tenants, the
address, exactly how much is owed,
state that past due rent must be paid in
full within three days of the notice or
they must move out and list who and
where to pay the money.
The 14-day/30-day notice would be the
notice provided in the case of a lease or
law violation listing out the tenant’s
names, the address and a list of each
lease or law violations and a brief
description explaining the violation.
State that the tenants right to
possession will automatically terminate
in 30 days from the date of the notice
unless the tenant fixes the violation
within 14 days of the date of notice.
To terminate a month to month you
must provide your tenant with a one
month notice based on the date that
rent is due.
If I hire an attorney, do I need to
appear.
No, you do not need to appear at the
first court date. If it is held over for
trial, you will need to appear for that.
What is the process for an eviction?
Step 1: Attorney sends written demand
letter to pay rent or vacate and to call
the landlord to resolve.
Step 2: The eviction is filed at the
courthouse.
Step 3: The court will schedule the case
for a hearing and issue a summons to
tenant to appear.
Step 4: A private process server in
Missouri or the Sherriff in Kansas will
serve a copy of petition and summons
to tenant.
Step 5: Your attorney goes to Court on
your behalf to obtain a judgment.
Step 6: Attorney will contact you with
the Courts results and ask if you would
like to schedule the Deputy Sheriff to
perform a lockout procedure.
Step 7: You and the Sheriff will lock out
the tenant and remove their
possessions.
What if the day of eviction the tenant
refuses to remove themselves and
their belongings?
In Missouri, the Deputy Sheriff will
physically remove the tenant, and you
will be responsible for removing all of
their personal possessions to the curb.
Once everything is removed, the
Deputy will authorize you to change the
locks.
In Kansas, while the Sheriff’s Deputy
will physically remove the tenant, he
will also take inventory of the personal
property and authorize you to change
the locks. However, you have to keep
possession of the belongings for thirty
days and publish in the local paper as
described below.
What if my tenant moves out but
leaves their stuff behind?
In Kansas, you can’t throw away
belongings until at least thirty days
from the date you reclaim possession of
the property. And prior to disposing of
the belongings you must publish a
notice in the local newspaper for at
least 15 days and mail a notice to the
tenants last known address at least
seven days prior to disposition.
In Missouri if you have reasonable
belief that the tenant has moved out
and does not intend to return and rent
is due and unpaid for 30 days and you
post and mail both regular mail and
certified mail to the tenants last known
address to contact you within 10 days
to claim the property. You can then
dispose of possessions after the 10 days
have passed with no response.
Information is from Julie Anderson on
the website www.MOKSLaw.com. You
can learn more about evictions and
collections in both Kansas and Missouri
by visiting the website. Julie will be our
guest speaker in March helping us learn
best practices when it comes to dealing
with tenants.

MISSOURI LANDLORDS &
SECURITY DEPOSITS
SUPPORT MISSOURI HB 705 AND SB 234 TO REPEAL LAW THAT
REQUIRES YOU TO HOLD SECURITY DEPOSITS IN A TRUST
ACCOUNT
PAGE 9RE INVESTMENT NEWS
Current Law in Missouri According
to Section 535.300.1
All security deposits shall be held
by the landlord for the tenant, who
is a party to the rental agreement,
in a bank, credit union, or
depository institution which is
insured by an agency of the federal
government.Security deposits shall
not be commingled with other
funds of the landlord. All security
deposits shall be held in a trust
established by the landlord and
deposited in a bank, credit union,
or depository institution account in
the name of the trustee.
To resolve this vague and almost
uneforcable law, Senator Doug
Libla has proposed SB234 and
Representative Gary Cross has
proposed HB705 that would repeal
this particular section of the law.
The Senate had a hearing on
SB234 on Tuesday January 31st
and MAREI Member & Missouri
Landlord, Steve Vogel went to
Jefferson City to testify on your
behalf and to represent the
Missouri Landlords. At this
meeting Senator Libla who had
introduced the bill in Senante
testified on behalf of the bill.
Steve presented the rough costs
we had found with complying with
the law that seemed to gather
attention by those at the hearing.
The hearing for HB705 will be in
Jefferson City on Tuesday
February 7th at 4pm in Jefferson
City. We are asking all landlords
in the state of Missouri, who
would be able to be in Jefferson
City on Tuesday February 7th by
3pm for a premeeting in Gary
Cross’s office and the hearing at
4pm.
For those that cannot make it to
Jefferson City at 4pm next
Tuesday, we ask that you take
action, right now, today and reach
out to your own Senator and
Representative via phone and / or
fax to let them know your own
opinion on these two bills.
Visit MissouriPOA.org for more
details of the current law and the
proposed bills to change the laws.
Also find links to reach out to your
own representatives as well as
information on how one would
testify at the hearing and best
practices for writing to your
legislator.

Tom Zeeb on Partnerships
Are two better than one? Is there strength in numbers?
Should you do partnerships with other investors?
The answer is: “it depends”.
There are a lot of criteria to evaluate when considering if
you should take on a partner in your business.
In my experience and from my observations, partnerships of
inexperienced investors tend to feel good for those
partnering up, but don't succeed because there is no real
balance of skills and knowledge. And there are quite often
very different objectives as well that make the two parties
incompatible as long term business partners.
Inexperienced potential partners feel good together
because both investors are struggling and afraid to get
started. Therefore they feel comfortable with each other
because they are in the same boat.
However, two struggling people with no experience do not
bring much to the table. It is a partnership without any true
benefit to either party other than having someone to share
the ride with.
Intermediate to advanced investors also need to be
cautious about partnerships.
Once someone has done a few deals, they develop their
own style and method for doing business. This may clash
with another investor, especially as entrepreneurs tend to
be very independent minded and strong willed.
In the case of both the beginner and advanced investor, it is
important to be sure that both sides see eye-to-eye on what
their personal financial and business goals are.
For example, if one partner is younger and broke and wants
to wholesale everything for quick cash and the other
partner is older and more interested in cash flow and
appreciation and wants to buy and hold everything, then
the partnership is going to have trouble.
The same would be true if the partners had very different
risk tolerances. If one partner wants to renovate everything
for the “big bucks” but the other partner is scared of the
time and money involved and just wants to wholesale for
quick cash, then the partnership will have trouble.
At the end of the day, it is wise to remember that there is
only one captain on a ship. It is a rare partnership that
doesn’t have any serious friction.
For those partnerships that do work, the partners have a
good understanding of each other’s personalities and of
their own strengths and weaknesses and well as their
partner’s strengths and weaknesses. They also share very
similar goals and expectations for what they want to get out
of the business partnership.
We often get asked who offers Mentoring
here at MAREI. Note that most local
memers will answer a question or two,
but if you want someone to hold your
hand and actually teach you something,
we highly recommend the guest speakers
who join us to teach Saturday workshops.
M A R E I S T A F F
Partnerships can be out of balance because of overlapping
strengths or both sides being weak in a certain area.
Double weakness = problems externally
Double strength = internal clashes
Do not underestimate this. Recognize where these overlaps
occur and work with your partner to ensure that you find a
way to account for the problems that can occur.
If you do find a good partner and decide to join up for long-
term business purposes, be sure you legally construct an
entity to protect yourselves from each other.
Have an attorney draft up an operating agreement that
clearly states what happens if the partnership dissolves.
Decide on the details of how you would split up front when
you are still on friendly terms. Trying to do that once the
relationship has soured is not easy or pleasant.
If you are just partnering up on an ad hoc basis for certain
deals, use a Joint Venture (JV) arrangement. In all cases
avoid the general partnership, as it provides no protection
and actually makes you liable for the other party’s actions.
The main questions to ask yourself when
considering a partnership are: Is your
partnership profitable? Do both sides bring
something to the table? Will two be better
than one?

    - JOIN USSATURDAY FEBRUARY 19TH TO LEARN MORE - WIN- WIN! THE BASIC RULES & CONCEPTS OF NEGOTIATION BY TOM ZEEB There are some basic rules and concepts to remember when you are negotiating. I will describe these rules and concepts so that you can get a clear idea of what negotiating is and what things you need to be aware of. Remember that you are negotiating all the time. This is true for many aspects of your life. Therefore, even if you are not using a specific technique, keep these basic rules and concepts in mind. They are the starting point and framework for any negotiation. Five Things that Make a Good Negotiator The right state of mind is important. As is learning the skills necessary to success and improve. Like anything else, there are things that you can do to improve your mindset and skill set. Consider these five things that make a good negotiator: 1. Understanding that the other side has pressure on them to do the deal as well. Both sides are under pressure to do the deal. So don’t feel too intimidated. Don’t think it is just you that needs to perform. If you start approaching someone like you desperately need to buy, don’t forget that they need to sell. Some need to sell more than others. And some really need to sell fast. Understand that there is pressure on them as well. There is time pressure on them. There is money pressure on them. There are other situational pressures on them. Don’t forget that. Don’t always feel that there is just pressure on you. Stop and breath, take a step back, and look at the situation calmly. A lot of this is about going around the other side of the table and thinking like them, feeling like them and recognizing what is going on there. Just don’t forget that they have pressure on them to close the deal as well. 2. Wanting to learn negotiating skills. You have to want to learn this stuff. That sounds basic and obvious, but many people think to themselves, “I am a good businessman. I am a good negotiator.” Yes, maybe. But there is a lot you can learn and it is going to take practice. Commit to wanting to learn about negotiation. 3. The desire to practice. You need to be willing to practice these skills. I have a friend whom I told to study these techniques. I recommended a course to him and he said to me, “I am a good PAGE 3RE INVESTMENT NEWS

    - NEGOTIATION - 5.Wanting to create "win/win" negotiating situations. I know you hear the term “win-win” a lot and it might sound a little cheesy, however it really does make all the difference in the world. Not viewing someone as the winner and someone as the loser is one of the major things that separate negotiation from high-pressure sales techniques. High pressure sales techniques sometimes make you feel like a loser. Especially if you are the one who forked over a lot of money for something you maybe didn’t need or really want. In a win-win situation, you would say “I think I got a good deal. I got some of value out of that”. That will make a difference in the way you are perceived by the other party and by the business community in general. It will make people want to refer you to others. Tom Zeeb has been featured by CNBC, The Washington Post, Kiplinger's Magazine, The Washington Examiner, Financial Lifeline Radio and National Real Estate Investors Association's Magazine among others. He is the President of Traction REIA and he will be teaching his business blueprint at the February 14th MAREI meeting and an all day Master Class on Saturday the 18th. negotiator already. I know all that. I don’t need help.” I said, “Just humor me on this one. You are starting a new job and I think these techniques will really do you good.” I had once thought the same thing myself, that I couldn’t get any better, etc. That’s nonsense! Everyone can get better if they study and practice the right things. He did actually study the techniques. I got an email from him a couple of weeks later and he said, “That stuff was awesome. I am doing so well now.” He negotiated 25% discounts across the board from all the vendors he was dealing with. He said his boss is thrilled beyond belief and can’t believe what a great choice they made hiring him. He applied these techniques and totally changed the dynamics of the way that his company is doing business with other companies. He said some of the stuff sounded basic but you just don’t always think about it, especially in a big picture perspective that ties it all together. Commit to practicing the skills it takes to be a successful negotiator.

    ANSWERS TO COMMONQUESTIONS evicting a tenant What is an eviction? An “eviction” is the removal of tenant(s) from a rental property by a landlord through a court action (lawsuit). There are three types of evictions in Missouri: (1) a Rent & Possession action, (2) an Unlawful Detainer action, and (3) an Emergency Eviction. Rent & Possession is for past due rent. Unlawful Detainer is for violation of the lease, the law or failure to move out when agreed. Emergency Eviction that allows the landlord to remove the tenant within 24 hours of judgment due to violence, drugs or damage. In Kansas, an eviction lawsuit is called a forcible detainer and pertains to failure to pay rent or violations in the lease or the law, or criminal activity. When do I need a lawyer to file an eviction suit? If your rental property is owned in the name of a business entity, you are required by law to be represented by a lawyer. If you own in your own name, you may be able to file without an attorney. Note that in both Kansas and Missouri, an eviction case is much faster than a civil case, but you have to follow highly detailed rules and you may find that hiring an attorney will speed up the process and get you the property back sooner. Can I change the locks or turn off the utilities if the tenant stops paying? No. Landlords may be prosecuted criminally or sued in civil court for tenant damages such as temporary housing, value of food spoiled if the refrigerator stops running, etc. The fact that the tenant did not pay rent, left the property a mess, or otherwise acted outrageously will not be a valid defense for changing locks or turning off utilities. If the tenant moves in and fails to put the utilities into their own name, you still can’t shut them off. It is a good idea for the tenant to provide proof of service on the utilities before letting them move in. How long does the eviction process take? In Missouri, a court date is scheduled about four weeks after the lawsuit is filed. A private process server will give a copy of your petition and the court summons to the tenant(s) at least ten days before the court date. If the A review of common questions asked about evictions in Kansas and Missouri from MoKsLaw.com PAGE 5RE INVESTMENT NEWS

    tenant shows upto court and disputed the allegations in your petition for eviction, then the Judge will set the case for trail in seven to 14 days. If the tenant fails to appear, the Judge will enter a default judgment. A Rent and Possession will be final in 10 days, Unlawful Detainer in 30 days. In Kansas, your court date will be about three weeks after the lawsuit is filed. A Deputy Sheriff will give a copy of the petition and the court summons to the tenant at least three days before the court date. If the tenant fails to show or shows and agrees the charges a default judgment will be filed and becomes final after fourteen days. If the tenant shows up and disputes the allegations a trial will be set for seven to fourteen days later. Once the judgment becomes final, the sheriff has up to 30 days to physically remove the tenant. What notice is required prior to filing an Unlawful Detainer in Missouri? You should serve your tenant with a 10 Day Termination Notice if your tenant has violated their lease, the law, or failed to move when the lease expired. If you are on a month to month lease, you first need to provide the tenant with a month’s notice to terminate the lease. What notice is required prior to filing an eviction suit in Kansas? Kansas law requires that the landlord serve the tenant with a written termination prior to filing an eviction lawsuit. These notices include a Three- Day Notice to Pay or Quit and a Fourteen/ Thirty Day Termination notice. The Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit must be in writing, list all tenants, the address, exactly how much is owed, state that past due rent must be paid in full within three days of the notice or they must move out and list who and where to pay the money. The 14-day/30-day notice would be the notice provided in the case of a lease or law violation listing out the tenant’s names, the address and a list of each lease or law violations and a brief description explaining the violation. State that the tenants right to possession will automatically terminate in 30 days from the date of the notice unless the tenant fixes the violation within 14 days of the date of notice. To terminate a month to month you must provide your tenant with a one month notice based on the date that rent is due. If I hire an attorney, do I need to appear. No, you do not need to appear at the first court date. If it is held over for trial, you will need to appear for that. What is the process for an eviction? Step 1: Attorney sends written demand letter to pay rent or vacate and to call the landlord to resolve. Step 2: The eviction is filed at the courthouse. Step 3: The court will schedule the case for a hearing and issue a summons to tenant to appear. Step 4: A private process server in Missouri or the Sherriff in Kansas will serve a copy of petition and summons to tenant. Step 5: Your attorney goes to Court on your behalf to obtain a judgment. Step 6: Attorney will contact you with the Courts results and ask if you would like to schedule the Deputy Sheriff to perform a lockout procedure. Step 7: You and the Sheriff will lock out the tenant and remove their possessions. What if the day of eviction the tenant refuses to remove themselves and their belongings? In Missouri, the Deputy Sheriff will physically remove the tenant, and you will be responsible for removing all of their personal possessions to the curb. Once everything is removed, the Deputy will authorize you to change the locks. In Kansas, while the Sheriff’s Deputy will physically remove the tenant, he will also take inventory of the personal property and authorize you to change the locks. However, you have to keep possession of the belongings for thirty days and publish in the local paper as described below. What if my tenant moves out but leaves their stuff behind? In Kansas, you can’t throw away belongings until at least thirty days from the date you reclaim possession of the property. And prior to disposing of the belongings you must publish a notice in the local newspaper for at least 15 days and mail a notice to the tenants last known address at least seven days prior to disposition. In Missouri if you have reasonable belief that the tenant has moved out and does not intend to return and rent is due and unpaid for 30 days and you post and mail both regular mail and certified mail to the tenants last known address to contact you within 10 days to claim the property. You can then dispose of possessions after the 10 days have passed with no response. Information is from Julie Anderson on the website www.MOKSLaw.com. You can learn more about evictions and collections in both Kansas and Missouri by visiting the website. Julie will be our guest speaker in March helping us learn best practices when it comes to dealing with tenants.

    MISSOURI LANDLORDS & SECURITYDEPOSITS SUPPORT MISSOURI HB 705 AND SB 234 TO REPEAL LAW THAT REQUIRES YOU TO HOLD SECURITY DEPOSITS IN A TRUST ACCOUNT PAGE 9RE INVESTMENT NEWS Current Law in Missouri According to Section 535.300.1 All security deposits shall be held by the landlord for the tenant, who is a party to the rental agreement, in a bank, credit union, or depository institution which is insured by an agency of the federal government.Security deposits shall not be commingled with other funds of the landlord. All security deposits shall be held in a trust established by the landlord and deposited in a bank, credit union, or depository institution account in the name of the trustee. To resolve this vague and almost uneforcable law, Senator Doug Libla has proposed SB234 and Representative Gary Cross has proposed HB705 that would repeal this particular section of the law. The Senate had a hearing on SB234 on Tuesday January 31st and MAREI Member & Missouri Landlord, Steve Vogel went to Jefferson City to testify on your behalf and to represent the Missouri Landlords. At this meeting Senator Libla who had introduced the bill in Senante testified on behalf of the bill. Steve presented the rough costs we had found with complying with the law that seemed to gather attention by those at the hearing. The hearing for HB705 will be in Jefferson City on Tuesday February 7th at 4pm in Jefferson City. We are asking all landlords in the state of Missouri, who would be able to be in Jefferson City on Tuesday February 7th by 3pm for a premeeting in Gary Cross’s office and the hearing at 4pm. For those that cannot make it to Jefferson City at 4pm next Tuesday, we ask that you take action, right now, today and reach out to your own Senator and Representative via phone and / or fax to let them know your own opinion on these two bills. Visit MissouriPOA.org for more details of the current law and the proposed bills to change the laws. Also find links to reach out to your own representatives as well as information on how one would testify at the hearing and best practices for writing to your legislator.

    Tom Zeeb onPartnerships Are two better than one? Is there strength in numbers? Should you do partnerships with other investors? The answer is: “it depends”. There are a lot of criteria to evaluate when considering if you should take on a partner in your business. In my experience and from my observations, partnerships of inexperienced investors tend to feel good for those partnering up, but don't succeed because there is no real balance of skills and knowledge. And there are quite often very different objectives as well that make the two parties incompatible as long term business partners. Inexperienced potential partners feel good together because both investors are struggling and afraid to get started. Therefore they feel comfortable with each other because they are in the same boat. However, two struggling people with no experience do not bring much to the table. It is a partnership without any true benefit to either party other than having someone to share the ride with. Intermediate to advanced investors also need to be cautious about partnerships. Once someone has done a few deals, they develop their own style and method for doing business. This may clash with another investor, especially as entrepreneurs tend to be very independent minded and strong willed. In the case of both the beginner and advanced investor, it is
  • 11.
    important to besure that both sides see eye-to-eye on what their personal financial and business goals are. For example, if one partner is younger and broke and wants to wholesale everything for quick cash and the other partner is older and more interested in cash flow and appreciation and wants to buy and hold everything, then the partnership is going to have trouble. The same would be true if the partners had very different risk tolerances. If one partner wants to renovate everything for the “big bucks” but the other partner is scared of the time and money involved and just wants to wholesale for quick cash, then the partnership will have trouble. At the end of the day, it is wise to remember that there is only one captain on a ship. It is a rare partnership that doesn’t have any serious friction. For those partnerships that do work, the partners have a good understanding of each other’s personalities and of their own strengths and weaknesses and well as their partner’s strengths and weaknesses. They also share very similar goals and expectations for what they want to get out of the business partnership. We often get asked who offers Mentoring here at MAREI. Note that most local memers will answer a question or two, but if you want someone to hold your hand and actually teach you something, we highly recommend the guest speakers who join us to teach Saturday workshops. M A R E I S T A F F Partnerships can be out of balance because of overlapping strengths or both sides being weak in a certain area. Double weakness = problems externally Double strength = internal clashes Do not underestimate this. Recognize where these overlaps occur and work with your partner to ensure that you find a way to account for the problems that can occur. If you do find a good partner and decide to join up for long- term business purposes, be sure you legally construct an entity to protect yourselves from each other. Have an attorney draft up an operating agreement that clearly states what happens if the partnership dissolves. Decide on the details of how you would split up front when you are still on friendly terms. Trying to do that once the relationship has soured is not easy or pleasant. If you are just partnering up on an ad hoc basis for certain deals, use a Joint Venture (JV) arrangement. In all cases avoid the general partnership, as it provides no protection and actually makes you liable for the other party’s actions. The main questions to ask yourself when considering a partnership are: Is your partnership profitable? Do both sides bring something to the table? Will two be better than one?
