Investment Partnership Structure other than LLC

[Adam E.]

I'm normally on the other side of these deals and exploring a new set of deals where I'll buy and take on other investors who want to get into the deal. In the ones where I'm the investor/partner we use a pretty standard structure, cap mgmt llc, partnership llc, pass through on K-1 etc... 

I'm looking other models that have lower overhead for smaller deals and allow for others to invest/buy equity.  Is anyone doing anything else that achieves these things like just having partnership/revenue agreement/contract? I've read a bit about other contract based models and see what some companies are doing by paying people for equity in their homes but nothing detailed enough.  If you have experience with other models, I'd love to hear from you.
