I can't imagine being in a partnership with someone that brings nothing to the table but expects the same return as you do.

Already helps a lot if you're bringing a deal to the table...

You and this private person you met hammer out the details of the loan at the kitchen table so to speak and you seal it with a handshake and your reputation that this Private Person already respects or whomever introduced has vouched for you.But if a man opens a lending company tomorrow with 50 Million of his own capital and he checks in on the HML market to see what it bears and he copies his products and UW guidelines and now is he PML or HML? 

I’m looking to connect with:Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers.

You generally would find that depending on what deals you have at the other end of the table best helps decide this answer.

Me and my partner both bring things to the table that the others don't.

Most borrowers I speak to are just assuming that rates will drop off the table in a few months.

Wow this is the Ugliest table i've seen in years.

Does that make anyone think, "If you're not bringing any capital to the table then you probably want to avoid this strategy or you probably want to go with this kind of investment"?

You may get it, but the table shows the maximum they will pay.
