Define General Partnership in Real Estate

General Partnership: 

A general partnership is when two or more people come together to start a business to make money. They all agree to work together, manage the business, and share the profits. In this type of partnership, there are no silent partners who just invest money without being involved in managing the business.

Example: 

For example, imagine Lisa and Maria decide to open a bakery. They both contribute money to start the business, and they both work together to manage the bakery, make decisions, and share the profits they earn. This is a general partnership because they're both actively involved in running the business.

"Wit & Whimsy with the Dumb Ox: Unlocking Knowledge with Rhyme:"

In the town of Partner-Pair,
Two friends had an idea to share.
They'd open a bakery, oh so sweet,
Where cakes and cookies folks would eat.

Lisa and Maria, side by side,
Worked together, hands untied.
A general partnership they'd form,
To bake and sell, in rain or storm.

No silent partners in this tale,
Just hard work, they'd not fail.
Together they managed, profits to share,
In their bakery adventure, a delightful pair.
