Should I give my investor equity or just straight ROI?

[Justin S.]

I currently own 18 units in Upstate NY and am running out of capital to invest in my next MF property.  I've never used a partner before and am honestly a little hesitant.  I like to have control and do not want to feel the pressure of having a partner.  I don't mind the pressure on myself but bringing someone else into the risk is what is holding me back

I'm wondering if I should look for an equity partner or if just going hard money is the better way to go? 

Also, what would a good split be if I am willing to manage it and split repair costs?

What ROI is decent for hard money?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
