I'm not looking at a 10 unit apartment building which requires a commercial loan - different amortization time frame, structure etc.

Focus on running the numbers and what's on the market and how you can structure an offer that makes the deal work for you and the seller. 

We have also been told, to different degrees of directness, that companies that are early adopters of non-traditional treasury structures are discouraged as customers. 

@James Cress Get an expert opinion and hire a structural engineer.

I could see a more typical structure to be 75% bank loan, 15% seller second, 10% cash from you and your partner. 

The first test is to try calling them to see if they answer, ask about processes, ask for their fee structure so you can see ALL the fees, ask about their adaption plan for the property, and interview a few. 

What investors need to consider in the syndication memorandum is whether the fee structures are such that there is the potential for fees to erode all chance of profit.Equity SplitJust as sponsors take a portion of monthly profits, they may also take a portion of the net proceeds when the property is sold.

If I have a partner with private money willing to put up the down payment, how do we structure the deal?

Looking for a little help with proper business formation, LLC structure, and liability coverage etc.Thank you for the help!

A traditional bank may not fund a deal with a capital structure like that.
