Are we talking drinking friends or people you trust and have rapport with?

Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Columbus, Ohio, should be on everyone's radar as the population continues to rise, the housing shortages keep increasing.

But that's not what you're talking about.

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?

First off, talk to your network—family, friends, or potential private lenders who might be on board with your vision.

Having a small loan on the house I talked with my banker and was told that moving the house would not effect the loan as long as the house stayed in my name.  

Most people talk themselves into trouble by talking to much. 

Should I first email the increase to him and then call to explain or talk to them first?

We're not talking huge cashflow here in my market but the analysis looks very stong based on market average appreciation and the low capex figures. 

I and my business partner currently have over 30 units in Martinsburg and will continue to buy in Berkeley County.
