Tax questions - Hard Money Lenders

Mankato, MN 路 Member since 2016 路 45 posts 路 18 votes

Hello all.

I am starting to organize some hard money deals with my close friends and family. I have an LLC that I plan on purchasing the properties through, and then loaning money from the friends and family paying them out a return of 15% on there money in about 6 months time.

I am being asked by a few of them how the tax process works and I am not sure exactly how to answer that question? When I pay them out there originally investment and the additional 15%. How does that work from there end and how does it work from my end? Do I need to send them any forms? How will they be taxed, etc.

Any help from those of you out there doing deals like this would be greatly appreciated.馃憤

@Grant Pope You would have to give them a 1099-int for the interest paid to them.

    @Grant Pope...agree with @Brian Whiton...you account for it as interest expense, then issue 1099-INTs.  I, too, offer the same "this is not tax advice; check with your CPA" disclaimer.

    The best thing you can do is to ask them to reach out to their accountant. You don't necessarily want to provide tax advice.

    Providing tax advice and it being incorrect can cost you a relationship.

    You鈥檙e essentially offering them a 30% annualized return. Unless you鈥檝e found the Holy Grail, that is not sustainable.
