Post: Giving contractor a % of profit?

I've always used contractors here and there and paid up front. But has anyone ever gave their contractor a % of profit after the property has sold? Like, paying for the material then once the house sells give your contractor a %?

I am meeting with my cousin to sorta partner up. I purchase and he renovates, but I"m thinking he wants me to purchase the material ?

If you have done this before please comment. I don't know really know where to start...

Is there a formula for this?

You are in a more populated area than I am. I'm by Lake Raystown 2hrs form state college 3 hours from Pitt. You will do well there! I have to travel 2 -  3 hours to get to the highest populated areas.

Good luck!  :)

Hello Everyone! You all are gems! I want to begin to thank everyone for their ideas and concerns and most of all your knowledge . so here goes..................

I generally use a contractor here and there and who is available at the time in my little circle and played them for services rendered  Question.?? Has anyone ever offered contractors to rehab a place with you (you paying for material ) and giving them a % of the profit once the property sells ??? If you have?? I would like to hear...I am getting together with a relative contractor to discuss this particular matter and don't really know what to offer or where to begin??? He works thru the day with a company and does odds and ends on the side.

I would appreciate any input that you all may have.

thanks Barb
