Phil Petite Question About How to Structure Deals Using Private Money
17 October 2024 | 12 replies
I feel a bit stuck in this scenario, and I could use some advice.I'm raising some money from private investors and wanted to run some options by more experienced posters, because I'm a bit unclear as to what the best way is to structure my deals with private investors, or if there are better options that I'm not considering.Here are some rough numbers to capture a deal that is on my radar:Loan amount from investor: $110kYearly Interest Paid to Investor: 7%Monthly Rent from Property: $1300Monthly Interest-Only Payment to Investor: $642Monthly Property Taxes: $71Monthly Insurance Payment: $71Property Management fees: $104Net Cashflow: $412Now, this is not a bad outcome, and I am fine with it, but I am wondering what someone else might do differently if you were in my position - Should I charge an upfront fee to my investor (maybe $5k or so for this deal and also keep the cashflow as my monthly management fee), or would you instead use the $110k from the investor to BRRRR a bunch of deals, or would you try to just use the capital for one deal at a time?
