Landon - They are a friend, not exactly a close friend but we are around them often.  The conversation came up during a discussion about investing and my use of private lending when needed.  No convincing was really necessary because they know my drive and success so far.  If you are looking for an investor, I would suggest networking and letting everyone you meet know exactly what you do.  You would be surprised who might be looking for a better return on their capital and might be willing to take a chance on you.  Most of the multimillionaires I know are the people you would least expect, very low-key and humble.  

I have a friend who is interested in investing a great deal of capital into my real estate endeavors (Flipping, Rental, and Multi-family properties).  I am considering the partnership and looking for ideas to structure the deals so that he is appropriately compensated for the use of the capital.  He wishes only to be a passive investor so I will be finding, evaluating, rehabbing, and managing the properties.  

I've always been a bit stubborn and set on doing this with only my own capital, but I can see how much faster I can grow my portfolio with access to the additional capital.  What is the best way to structure the partnership to protect both my efforts as well as his investment?
