If all he is doing is raising money, anywhere from 15% to 40% of the GP is fair, depending on how much you are bringing to the table in regard to experience and expertise.

Private money tends to run from 8-12% with 0-1 points (again, it can be more of less, but that's what I'm seeing a lot of investors finding).Of course, your experience, how much money you bring to the table, the quality of the deal, the relationship you have to the lender, etc., can all play into the cost of the money, but those are some rough numbers.

Any other ideas/options that could be on the table here?

All the equipments, medical tables, beds, are already there(considering they've been there for a long long time) but none of them seem to be impossible to move around if you hire the right pros with right money, but it will be definitely a hassle for both of us.  

THINK AHEAD AND DO THE LEGWORK SO THE DEAL DOESN'T UNRAVEL AT THE CLOSING TABLE.

If you are actually going to re-sell that contract to buy that house to someone else for a higher price, then do it above the table and disclose that to everyone involved in the deal.

In the case of 1 man with truck and tools, yeah, they need the deposit because they don't have the funds to finance your job, nor the funds to chase their money, nor to put food on their table if they dedicate their time to your job and payment is slow. 6k is not even half in one of my credit card monthly bill.

@Jerry Padilla nothing is holding me back I am just assessing all available options out there for real estate and I have trouble understanding how you bring a deal to the table and rally investors to join on a syndication.

I'm not familiar with the east side of the mountains but I think its much easier to have the potential for some actual sub-division development but thats just a guess. 

You have a set of skills/experience (or money) you bring to the table as an investor and you match those skills/experience/ideas with a property and you add value to create a deal.
