What terms should be in place for an equity partnership. I currently own the home. I'm considering giving up 50% of the ownership to a business partner. How do I determine the amount he should pay up front to become a partner?
Lashan, you need to check what the present value of your house is and decide accordingly. You should ask for half of the equity in the house as he will be getting 50% ownership.
You should also consult a real estate attorney to discuss the legal points that are to be considered before making him co owner.

You can contact any experienced real estate agent to provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). By doing a CMA you will be able to know the current value of your house.
Hi Lashan,
At first you need to get an appraisal done to find out the current value of your house. Now depending on what value it comes, you have to determine the amount of the ownership accordingly. But for that, you have to take the help of a real estate attorney as he can possibly guide you through the transaction process and can help you to decide the ownership value of the property.
