Sourcing Capital for a large downpayment - Advice on common offerings and rates

[Laura Casner]

I have an off market commercial deal in a hot investment area I'm able to get seller financing on. This allows me to get into a great property and leave the bank out.  I don't have anyone I know enough to trust as a partner so I'd like to offer debt positions or equity payouts instead of partnerships. What are some ideas on offerings?  Is 8-10% return reasonable? How do you structure an equity payout and how much is enough to entice someone?

Total nooby question here: Would anyone park their money for a payout of 8-10% on their money after say 3 years? 1 year? Or will most people expect interest payments along the way? Does anyone have a recommendation for online calculators to map out the breakdown of monthly interest payouts easy?
