Thanks for the advice guys, I'm looking at a Grumman yankee. It's
affordable, quick enough
for a first plane, and the reason for the partner is purely cost. I
know I don't fly everyday, and there
is plenty of time to share an airplane.

A partnership is a great way to own a plane. The hard part is getting
a partner with similar opinions on things such as upgrades,
maintenance, etc. Many times I've agreed to pay for 1/2 of something I
really didn't care to get but do it for the good of the partnership.
For me, the biggest reason to be in a partnership isn't cost but
rather usage. Flying a plane 50 hours a year is really hard on the
plane, hard on the engine, etc. Planes need to be flying and having a
partner can keep the plane in the air.
