My partnership in the Bonanza worked well. Several times we were approched by someone wanting to buy a third, and while it would have been nice to reduce the bills a bit, we always decided to keep it just the two of us. I knew he treated the airplane well, and he knew I also treated it well. We never had scheduling conflicts. The more people involved, the less time available, and a greater chance of disagreements over maintenance issues.

If I were to build a homebuilt, I would probably go with one of the RV series, simply because if you go to any fly-in or show, there are more of them than anything else. That tells me that people actually complete the kits. The bugs should be worked out of the plans, and parts are easily available.

The other temptation would be a Falco. To my eyes, the prettiest plane on this planet.
