How to Set Up a Mortgage With Investor Paying Down Payment

How to Set Up a Mortgage With Investor Paying Down Payment

Hi All,

I am looking at purchasing my third rental property in Michigan and have an investor who will put up the down payment. The purchase price is $350,000 and the investor will put in $70,000. He will take 20% of NOI off the top, I will take 5% of NOI as a management fee, and the remainder will be split 50/50.

Does anyone have experience with a similar situation regarding taking out a mortgage? Is there a way to have only myself on the mortgage so he avoids liability and not count his $70,000 as a gift? 

The lender will not make the mortgage out to a business so we cannot have him loan it into an LLC and then take out the loan to the LLC.

Any creative ideas out there?

    Assuming you want residential 30YF, you basically either put him on the mortgage and on title, or he lends you the money as a private mortgage secured by some other real estate.

    You have several options in my opinion.  

    Although, your best advice will come from a lawyer, so please seek their advice over mine.

    1) Form an LLC. Buy the home under the LLC.

    2) Promissory note.

    3) Find a lender who doesn't care where the down payment comes from.
