Examples of strategies to entice private investor money

[Seth Knopp]

Hi,

I am interested in examples of how people convinced a private investor to support their project. What are typical % returns for them? What other incentives are good offers? How long is the standard period to pay back the investor?

I always hear “use private investor money” to get started. But how do you attract that? I understand you need to find a good deal. Does anybody have a step by step guide to attracting an investor? Specific numbers that usually need to be reach? Typical contract language?

Any help is always much appreciated! You guys are the best!

Thank,

Seth
