@Greg Dickerson can you explain what you mean by “Ask the seller to convert to equity instead“.
Does this mean that they just get a certain fixed dollar amount of equity in the deal and we can cash them out over time?

Post: Advice Needed-Flip Money partner terms

Hello Pro's,
I have a friend that is looking to start doing flips soon and asked me to be a money partner. I would put money towards the down payment and repair costs and he would manage the flip ($20-25K). He is a Realtor who knows the market well and has a background in construction. He is offering a 10% return or 20% of the profits for this investment.
Would you say that these are adequate returns for the risk that I would be putting down? If he put some skin in the game, would that make it better, or would this still be a low return considering the risk?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Hey Joe. Shoot me a PM and I will hook you up with the team I use if you are interested. There is a local group on Meetup.com that meets monthly that you might be interested in. They are mostly focused on wholesaling and flipping if you are interested in that. I am looking to start a local group for Cedar Rapids and will let you know details when that happens.

Hello BP,
I am helping an investor try to find funding for his deal. He is converting a hotel to an assisted living facility in Georgia. He lives in Cedar Rapids, IA and we would love to meet with you in person to discuss the deal if you are local, or potentially even if you are not local.
What he needs: A private/hard money lender to provide $800K for the purchase. This lender would carry first lean position on the recently appraised 3 million dollar property. Terms are negotiable. He just had a lender fall through on him was granted an extension on the closing until next Friday ( March 9, 2018).
Please PM me if you would like more information.
