How should they structure the transaction


Problem

A and B, both dealers in real estate, find a parcel of land to purchase for $100,000 as an investment. They believe it can be sold in 2 years for $200,000. They either will buy the land as tenants-in-common for $100,000 and jointly contribute it to a partnership or contribute $50,000 each to an equal partnership, which then will buy the land.

How should they structure the transaction? And Why?
