In a real estate joint venture, which party typically provides the majority of capital but may not participate in daily management?

• A. Limited Partner
• B. General Partner
• C. Sponsor
• D. Lender

Answer: (A)

In a real estate joint venture, one investor often funds most of the equity but stays hands-off on daily operations. That role is the limited partner, who provides the majority of capital yet has limited involvement in day-to-day management and limited liability. The general partner (or sponsor) handles management and operations, while lenders supply debt and do not participate in management. So, the scenario described best fits the limited partner.
