Nothing private in a schedule E.

 I am looking at getting a private money from a family member.

Here's the biggest needs & what most people are looking for generally speaking:1) Deals2) Private $3) Sponsors/Key principals to go on a loan4) Help underwriting5) Help with research, making phone calls, administrative tasks, etc.So that said- like @Todd Dexheimer mentioned, what is your skill set?  

My question is what do i need from private money in order to make legitimate offers?  

Tristan,It looks to me like you are looking to fund the deal with private money and have the investors be passive while you and your group lead the way and take care of the asset management.

You might be able to use this method for individual projects, but it could make your taxes a nightmare at the end of the year, your best bet might even be excel.

It's just a private mortgage with a 3 year balloon payment.

We were considering even using private lender money to finance this deal as a fix and flip.

I would have to leverage other assets I have or, preferred, private money.Thanks!

Once I feel confident on a deal and with my knowledge, I can ask a family member for a private money loan and go from there
