Private Investor

[Tony Castronovo]

I have a possible investor who may be willing to fund my deals.  He would be strictly a passive financial investor.  We can work out the terms that benefit us both.  But how does he manage his risk?  In other words, would we write an agreement listing the property as collateral?  Would he then have a first lien on the property?  I am a bit naïve to this process and looking for a little guidance.
