Starting Your Own Shop - Debt

For those who started their own development/investment shop, how have people structured the debt for the first couple of deals? Especially, if you do not own any real estate/not have the NW.

Did you bring on a silent partner to guarantee loans and give up some of the fees/promote? If so, what did you give up?

Or did you JV with a local, experienced partner?
