I am a structural engineer in my mid 20's currently pursuing a master's degree.

So really I'm asking for input on how you would structure this deal?

The most common structures I've seen are either pure debt offerings or preferred equity offerings where investors are paid a predetermined return before the sponsor receives any profit.  

He's also helped me a lot with reviewing contracts, corporate structure planning, etc. 

Couple of questions about the potential for non-recourse loans:If I were to use my IRA funds to purchase a multi-family property for 360k could I:1) Have the SDIRA contribute 150K and structure owner finance as non-recourse?

I have a desire to get started but not large amounts of capital at my disposal I have a few questions;1) is there a market for people to be a bird dog for property investors in my market area (near Boston)2) I've heard a real estate license is recommended but I'm not sure if it's required for this type of business structure. 3) does anyone have recommendations for business plan software to get started?

and it hurts my head to even think of the right way to structure such a deal to remain in compliance with a dozen different regulatory laws.  

To form such structure correctly, I need to consult/hire a CPA or an attorney.

I was looking at a development investment in a mining town in Western Australia (WA) (structured and managed by a 3rd pty) but held off last year as job security was somewhat uncertain and had a little one (now arrived) on the way.  

Is this possible with this sort of business structure?
