Do you mean an LLC?
Back when the roll-ups came to town buying every one out they found out the hard way that a business is the man who runs the show, and not the employees, the trucks or the building they work. Men who run these kind of shows only need partners for for start up cash, and once the ball gets to rolling they don't need partners any more.
A partnership might work out on a local level but I would not think the out of state deal you are proposing would work like you think it should.
Just my two cent, but maybe one local partnership with an active partner in the background, like you, would be more stable and profitable.
