House flipping partnership

My company recently bought a house to remodel, we made a joint purchase or a partnership purchase with another company. We are a flipping real state business.

We are trying to figure how can we record the purchase statement. My company is paying the loan but the balance due when we purchased the house was paid by our partner. 

Also, the rehab costs are being paid for the both of us.

This means that we cannot record the house purchase as usual, because nothing went out from our bank account just the loan payments and some of the improvements. 

How can we treat this situation?

You need, in my opinion, a new company set of books to reflect the new partnership. Anything paid by either partner is partner equity

The company is a LLC and we bought the house by partnering with an investor.
We never created something separate (A new company).

How can we record this purchase?

Also, the balance due was paid by the "investor", he personally wired the deposit, so it never flowed through our account. How can I split the HUD-1 Journal entry so it can match to our reality?

 

We are separating all the improvement costs, the "investor" or "partner" pays directly to the vendor some stuffs and I pay some others, which is my confussion because that money is not flowing into our account. Should I record all the payments that he made for improvements? 

How can I treat this situation in order to avoid any complications.
