I'm Stuck! How do you structure the deal when using OPM?

Ben Waide
Posted

Robert Kiyosaki says to use OPM and just do a deal, not a partnership. Ken McElroy says his investors stay in the deal with him and reap infinite returns WITH him. So, if others put up all the money for a down payment and fees then I could treat it like a loan and pay them interest monthly or pay them with interest when the cash out re-fi is complete. Ken McElroy says he pays 7%. This is what my Rich Dad Coach recommended. However, Ken McElroy says his investors stay in the deal with him and reap an infinite return. How is the deal structured so I receive cash flow when others put up all the money in the beginning?

Hey @Ben Waide! The best structure for the deal will involve many different variables, including the source of the funding, the type of deal and even the personality of the investors you are working with. I recommend giving Matt Faircloth's "Raising Private Capital" a read. It will break down for you all of the variables and provide tools for you to organize your investments with OPM. Best of luck!
