process of buying a stake in a rental property? - Posted by Sue

My domestic partner owns a house that needs a lot of repairs. I have some savings that could cover the costs, in return for my attaining partial ownership of the property which we will then rent. I’m assuming we’d need to change the deed and mortgage to include both names; are there other legal requirements? What are the tax implications? Would you consider this a real estate “investment”?

Thanks so much for your time and assistance. (We’re in Oregon)
