Post: Advice From Experienced Private Money Lenders in Florida

Hello and happy Thanksgiving everyone,

I am relatively new to the boards here on BP and would appreciate any helpful advice.

A contractor/investor friend of mine has gotten a rehab under contract for 6K cash (yes, it's in bad shape) he says he can get back into shape for about 20K.

He has asked me to join him in the deal primarily to help him acquire the property. My cash investment isn't a tremendous amount of money, but I do want to be sure friendship and cash is protected should anything go sideways.

My investment would be 5K to be delivered at closing Monday Nov 30, 2015. And sweat equity to help rehab the property (which I was going to do anyway to help him out and learn from his process). My return would be 25% of profits

How complex of a contract/note do I need to have in place?

Here are the details of the deal if needed:

  • Property details: Single family home 2 bed, 2 bath, 988 sq ft.
  • Purchase price: 6K (him and I are splitting the purchase price)
  • ARVabout 75K
  • Exit strategy: Rehab and sell retail or sell to investor
  • Rehab estimate: 25K (separate private money investor in place for rehab expenses. She receives 25% of profits when sold)
  • My investment: 5K plus. I receive 25% of profits when sold.
  • My friend pockets 50% of net profit as he is doing the rehab.

Again, a contract template example would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Are all cash only offers strictly cash only? Has anyone seen a seller bend?

I'm just a little gun shy of HML for some reason. Maybe a little educational on the subject can cure that.

This BP article seems as good a place as any to start.

Enjoying learning from the discussion. Thank you.
