He has a lot of experience and he's cheap but he does not have the same administrative help you will get with guarunteed rate (I think this may have contributed to the extended time to close).  

It's hard enough as it is to put larger deals and capital together let alone limiting that to the same 10 near-equal partners...and at any level of scale or over extended time periods.I know sponsors who work with small investor databases but it's still clearly a syndication with active and passive roles and equity splits that vary from capital contributions.

@Nathan G.This is my modest contribution for now, just to keep the thread going.

Looking to creat connections and contribute with the small knowledge I have so far. 

I am sure there are more details I'm missing but I would love to hear anyone's contributions on this. 

Thanks everyone who contributes to BP, I've been reading a lot of posts and obtaining some vital knowledge!  

@Mark Robinson@Mindy Jensen questions are pertinent as the contributions come from your salary and the company and it seems the lawn business only provides so much is one concern I see. 

You will want to talk to a CPA though about what exactly that would mean for you, and how to structure everything (capital contributions, loans, etc.) to achieve the results you are looking for.The attorney is probably even more important to talk to in this situation.
