Since it’s legal for recreational use many companies or groups have been selling tee shirts that come with a “Free Gift” which is a bag of weed and depending on your t shirt price determines the quantity/ quality.   

This is particularly true if your involvement is more akin to a job or trade rather than a passive investment.Gift Tax: In some cases, if you're providing sweat equity to a property owned by someone else, the IRS might consider your contributions as gifts.

Get in the game as a owner and landlord with as low as 3.5% Down up to 6% Seller Assist and can use even gift money.

Since that time I have had a shift in thinking and now brand my company as a "For Profit Philanthropical Firm".

IDE like to make a low ball bid but I don't A) have the down payment for 55-65k (Fannie doesn't let you take a A "gift" from a family member on an invesemt and B) in don't think 35k will work as of yet. 401k loan isn't an option because I recently changed companies and rolled everything within Edward jones.

What would everyone's suggest be about giving a gift/ tip?

Are we going to need to prove some how this money is ours and not a gift or a loan from a family member?

Is your business partner going to gift you the downpayment for a property or are they expecting something in return?  

My first deal came to me via networking...a gift to get my feet wet that I knew I could make work.  

You can receive down payment monies in form of a gift from a friend or family member.
