Equity Split Questions

I do have a quick question about profit equity splitting. Do you have to in
California real proerty market under law split the profits in half like
50/50(or as close to) or is this just a moral thing investors do?

But what if I plan to use it for my primary resisdence but will most
likely(95%) sell it within 2 years. My current home is in Escrow right now?

And so if this property has a debt of total $185K and it can be resold in
today's market for $380K(Neighbor exact unit sold for $400k) and I came in
as an investor, I would do a 50/50 split but does it mean if I use it for my
primary residence, then do I have to factor my 50% split and the math should
be $380K-$185K=$195K/2 = $97.5K+$185K =$282.5K for my offer to purchase the
property? Wouldn't it be cleaner to purchase the property outright, make an
offer and open excrow? Besides, the seller knows he is coming out
ahead...and plus I don't have to worry about any othe liens since he will
have earnest interest to get rid of them or he can't sell property to me.

But california law says seller has 4 years to sue me. They could easily sue
me for misinforming them to sell property under market value? How do I
prevent this?
