You, of course, have the opportunity to stop investing on our platform, but to mischaracterize the success that you have had with Patch of Land on this forum is not appropriate. 

Bandit signs are named appropriately.  

What your saying does not seem appropriate.

The property looks like it was used by the previous owner as a three family, at some point; it has two means of egress (stair well & fire escape ladder) and the electric is appropriately sub metered along with kitchen, bathroom, space heater, etc.

For this reason we make sure that the deal and its risks are appropriate for the investor. 

I recommend people start with who they bank with or have had other loans with before if that's appropriate.

I really want to give her something as a thank you but I don't know what would be appropriate.

My question is... how should we structure our partnership the appropriate way? 

So for rentals what would you suggest to be appropriate GENERAL cost levels to start analyzing deals with?

It could be the traditional real estate flip, in which a house is rehabilitated and then sold for profit (borrowers in this area are very receptive to private lending).
