Wait a minute...he's gonna make me partner straight from the jump? He doesn't care that I have a hidden drug problem and I'll steal from him. Where do I sign up?

Just trying to exaggerate and make a point to you. Be careful of doing business that way. Like Stuart and Vince said...be very careful about a partner. Especially, the one I just exposed to you. And, you said first
"I have the capital." A con man would see that and financially rape you. Harsh words, but oh so true. I've never been in a business, but almost lost my Chevelle in a shop dispute just like this when I first bought it 11 years ago. I lost $3000 out of the deal, but at least I got my car and $4000 worth of parts back.
