Apologies for the slow reply. Both a busy day, and I'm thinking about what's best to do.
I thought of a potential issue with splitting it on the honor system. Fast forward 8 months, you've put in some creativity somehow, or a bunch of work, and I've not contributed. There is imbalance. Resentment grows. Suddenly forwarding revenue gets contentious for some reason. Time is worth something. Even just tracking the split is a PITA.
I think, unless the software properly supports co-owners, might be best to just go all-or-nothing. Maybe. Not sure. Which means I think I'm leaning to just giving you 100%.
But, I think I want to see if my schedule opens up, before I make that final call. It all rides on if I have enough time to build what I want to build.
I think if I still feel like I don't have enough time to do what I want on the tech-tooling side, then you can have it, probably in a few months.
I recall them talking about adding co-ownership functionality, but I have no idea where that sits on their to-do list.
I'm fine with proceeding along the lines you lay out. If we get a few months down the road and there's no mechanism for co-ownership and you find you don't have the time you'd like to invest in the territory, then I'll happily take over.
From there, once they do implement co-ownership, we can revisit the idea.
FWIW, if we split an outright buy, I think my attitude would be that any effort either of us invests is purely voluntary, since we would both have the option of sitting back and treating the territory as a passive income source. I appreciate the concern, though, about getting into an arrangement like that with someone you only know online.
