Also should I just treat them as a lender, not a partner? They invest and I can either pay them back in monthly installments with interest or a lump sum with interest?

Thanks for your responses! Nancy you mentioned each partner gets a percentage of the profits...Scenario 1: My investment would be knowledge and all leg work to complete the deal. Partner would just fund the deal. What would an ideal profit split look like? What are some creative ways I can repay them?

Scenario 2: Partner matches my initial investment on a buy and hold, What should I offer them? 

Hello, Im looking to ask some friends and family to become silent partners but as a "lender" only in my RE investing. I am currently an active RE agent and looking to get into investing. What approach do I use and how do I sell them on putting up some funds and I do all the leg work? What about compensation?

Hello, Im in the process of finding my niche in RE investing. I really enjoying the thought of building, but it is a big task to take on. I was looking into container homes. Anyone know anything about building and selling/renting them out?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'm trying to build a good schedule of being more active in the forums. I have currently just been doing a lot of reading and research, trying to develop my niche and learn a strategy to carry it out. When I settle on one, you guys will be the first to know!

Thanks! Looking forward to it.

I joined bigger pockets to gain knowledge and know how in learning how to start investing in real estate. I was an agent for about 2 years back in 2004 and I am currently not active. Sold a couple of houses but didn't really learn the business like I wanted to. Now I am looking to start as a beginner investor, with little money but lots of ambition and with a  teachable attitude. I am married with 2 beautiful children and looking to build a portfolio for my family longterm future.
