So I am up against a deadline for a reduced payoff of a non-performing mortgage that otherwise has spiraled way out of control.

Reduced payoff - 645K

Deadline - a couple of days

Pay off required after deadline- 790K

As is value of home:  ~950K, but with some rehab can be condo converted and sold for much much more, based on comps.

Neighborhood is nearly impossible to buy property in right now, due to upcoming public transit and huge changes.

3 investors came willing to do a JV as follows: Simple split of profits 25%

My role would be passive.

I felt this did not make sense for me because the value of the property - the buy in for acquisition = My equity, which is thus my capital contribution .

So for example if I wanted to buy myself out a week into the project, i get zero, even though I contributed my equity.

I offered this deal instead:

For my approximate 25% capital buy in via equity + me bringing a very hard to acquire deal to the table, should give me 25% of the gross value, at any point.  This incentivizes me to keep my money in until the end, but allows me to exit if for some reason I need/want to, with a fair share in my hand.

Is this a reasonable request?  If you were partnering with me on such a deal, how would you feel about  this structure?

    Hi Greg, I realize this is late in the game, but I found it to be an interesting conversation and would like to hear how you worked this out.  

    If I understand correctly, the only money that you have in the deal is for your marketing efforts and the Equity spread that you were able to create. Your investor / partners will be bringing all the money into the deal for purchase and rehab....correct?   Also the other investors will be managing all the construction work and end sale....?  

    If that's the case, I think 25% to you is a fair arrangement, after all you have no risk in the deal.  

    There's only upside potential for you, especially if you go the condo conversion route.

    Let me know how this plays out.  I'm interested in any other opportunities that come along in the Davis Square neighborhood.  Pete
