Is there something wrong with my pitch to my investor?

I want to buy an investment property in Claremore OK that is a mobile home on an acre of land, cost $8,000 (I will cover the closing cost) with a monthly rent of $800.

My pitch to my investor was that I would borrow $8,000 from them like a CD for two years.

They lend me the $8,000, in return I give them a 10% a year return on their money for two years. 

I pay them 1/24th of their $8,000 ($333.33) and 1/12th of the $800 ($66.66) a month but to make it easy I would just pay them $400 a month for 24 months.

Is there something wrong with this offer? 

Land her in Claremore OK is around $4,000 an acre and the NADA guide has this mobile home at $8,462. 

Is there something I am missing that an investor wants?

I've tried this method several times and have only landed funding from close friends and family who know and trust me. Its too easy to run off with $8000. Even a contract for this amount wouldn't really be worth it because suing you for stealing it will cost probably up to half the amount.

Honestly at $8000 you should have the money yourself or get that from relatives. It's not really worth getting an investor for.
