He get's principal and simple interest payments over a number of years.I'll manage the deal and the property.Looking to create a proforma for this that would fit a typical rental analysis but insert the detail of having private money cover the DP.

I have been investing for years; stocks, options, bitcoin, real estate, and private lending and now I am getting out of all of it because my job is proving to have an infinitely higher return on time and it no longer makes financial sense to dump money into rentals. 

Have recently started a renovation company with a friend, both of us successful business owners and talented in the trades.

Quote from @Timothy Fortin: Hey Bigger Pockets - I'm looking for some advice on how to provide comps to a hard money lender for 2 townhomes I'm building in New Hanover County, NC. 

This is why huge nationally scoped/wall st back or securitized hard money lenders will have a hard time dominating the this very segmented market.

I am on my first BRRRR and the issue is lenders keep only wanting to lend on 80% of the purchase price and not the actual appraised value, which would keep my money tied up on the rehab portion as well as 20% of the purchase price.

I'm a licensed builder and have done just about everything imaginable in the construction trades. 

It's an easy way to make more money on the tenants who are already staying at the property, but you'll target families and higher end clients who really need a golf cart, giving you higher yields and potentially better clients.

The time value of money still favors acceleration, but only if you have a clear path to eventually utilizing these losses.Don't let your tax savings get trapped in passive activity loss limbo.

You probably have a lot of friends or relatives with money to invest and an interest in real estate, but they have no clue what to do.
