Scenario:

I happed into and ultimately picked up an off-market rehab in a very hot area for about 20% of the what it appraises for. It will be a total gut job and the renovation will cost $125k+ and take four to five months to complete, but it will be well worth it as the profit could very well touch six figures. Given my background as a custom home builder and remodeler, the construction phase isn't that big of a deal.

With regards to the construction loan, the crowdfunders don't want any part of it, but the bank (local savings and loan that I have a relationship with) said that they would..... IF... I had someone co-sign the loan. I have three interested parties (I've known them all for 30+ years) and they're all asking me what the deal looks like. Ie: what's in it for them and how much do they stand to make. I'd like to just work with one of them (all three are very well-qualified) on this deal.

How do I set this up? Give them a x% return on the loan that they co-signed for? Give them x% on the profit that is made? The ball is in my court to come up with the terms. I'm just not familiar with what the expectation is, from an investor's standpoint, on a deal like this. Could anybody help a meager old hammer swinger structure this thing? Thanks in advance!

    I think in this case it's up to you. They aren't putting any money into the deal, but are taking some risk by allowing their credit to be used in the loan. The answer is just whatever you can offer them to make it attractive enough.

    I had a similar offer made to me last month (co-sign on a loan for 1-2 years until they could re-finance and get me off the loan). They offered to pay me around $3k up front and $100/month. Not bad for not having to do anything. I passed since I didn't know them personally, but perhaps your friends would accept a similar deal since they trust you.
