Help with structuring a commercial purchase deal!

[Mac Usher]

Hi BP Family, 

I am thinking through a potential opportunity for a deal and I would like your insight on different ways to approach it. I'll give you some specifics.

Property:
 Building is 8855 Square Feet
 3-5 Acres of land
 Ideal for a small manufacturing company.
 Will require heavy cleanup and code updates

Financing:
Owner is looking to sell in the former of a Lease Purchase or Direct Sale.
Owner may be in position to Owner Finance.

Purchasing:
I have an interested buy who would like to pay a large down payment and then make monthly payments to finish the purchase over the next 5-7 years.

Me:
I would like to own a portion of the property also for equity reasons but I don't have any cash.

Question:
What are some fair and creative ways to approach this?

Thanks BP!

If you're putting financing together and sign the loan then you have skin in the game and can ask for a promote percentage. The investor who puts the down pay will be a syndicate investor and will get 80-90% of the profit, and you get 10-20% depending on how good the deal is.

If you don't get the financing then you're a broker/middle man, and can get a referral fee.
