Using other peoples money

[Jonnathan Thompson]

I am sure this is dependent on a lot of variables and how the deal is... But I am curious to learn.

I see all over the place saying to raise funds for deal from other people. They're talking about  friends, family, investors, etc. When going that route, how are you making the deal appealing to them? Are you promising a certain amount of money per month then a lump sum to cover the rest in  a few years? Are you using their money in conjunction with a loan/mortgage (from bank)? Will you only take the money if it covers the entire cost of the property or will you take what ever they're willing to give you? Are you required to file with the SEC or something? I've seen a ton of information online and on here, but really it's just too much information. It's hard to decipher what would work and what wouldn't. So examples would be cool to see. 

Thanks!
