I’ve always believed that if the lender is a “partner” sharing exposure and not an at cost money provider dividing the profit of the deal into three sections is appropriate   MoneyMarketingManagement This said it’s not unreasonable to allow a minimum return after “X” profit.

Hello BP Community - Does anyone know if Morrison, CO has any short term rental regulations, or where to find them?

Your biggest hurdle will be dealing with regulation red tape, and finding a place where it can be done.

In my view, the rules keep you from investing a sizable portion of your net worth on a lightly regulated investment marketplace.
