How to get a return on Private Money?

[Account Closed]

I have a friend who knows I'm doing RE investing and he would like me to take his money and get a return on it. I'm new to real estate investing still, but I don't want to miss this opportunity nor damage a friendship by losing his money. I'm confident if steered in the right direction I can make this happen.

What type of deals should I look into to get him and myself a great ROI?

What's the time frame/structure that should be used?

Thanks in advance to everyone.
