But some have expressed a need/want to look over and approve the house/budget before lending money and then want to split profits.My question being if you were a PI would you be willing to loan a startup money at an interest rate, or would you want to be involved in the project and then rather see a % of the profit instead of interest.Also I am going to be holding a meeting soon with them , which topics would you suggest we hit to get everything out in the open and how would you structure the profit split.

Hey Ken.I'm brokering them.Does your question express your interest?

So I want to express my eternal Gratitude to the founder of this site Joshua Dorkin for creating a platform in which individuals like myself can gain access to valuable information and other professionals...I look forward to meeting fellow investors and helping others any way I can!

Just a hunch :mrgreen: I will say this, Mitch and I shared some pm's already and he's expressed his sincerity to be a contributing member.
