I have been in talks with a GC in Georgia and his method of building is: He builds everything at costs and doesn't include any markup or fees, he oversees everything, I only supply funding, and we split 50/50 the profits after paying back the bank and all other associated fees.Since I am only supplying the funding for the deal, is there a way I can structure doing this so that this is considered passive income for myself since I won't be involved with the construction or overseeing the project?
