Raising Private Money

[Joseph Gibbs]

When raising private money from your friends, family, network, and beyond, what kinds of returns do you guarantee? Do you you guarantee a certain dividend for cash flow properties or a lump sum at the end of a FLIP or refinance? What margins/percentages do you look for to motivate others to give you money for leveraging your investing potential in real estate?

I am curious what your approach is to the numbers you consider for raising private money.
