Nothing wrong with that, except that you need to consider the impact on family dynamics if your Aunt loses money and the deal goes south.Hard money lending is a very legitimate business, and in fact, we have our own trade association with a code of ethics.

Hi Jerry,I don't have any experience in dealing with historical district properties, but I would call the city building department and try to find out from them how it impacts your particular property?

Because this will go directly into your total out-of-pocket upfront costs, it will significantly impact your COC and Cap Rate values.For example, let's say you spend $5K in fixing up the property to get it rented, that 6% COC return drops to about 4%.

The impact here will be the same as an alien landing from another planet.

You're trying to limit the impact of a lawsuit on other assets.

Say it's a C-store, to sell it, you'll need to be able to explain things like traffic count, environmental requirements, burried gas tanks and liners, as an existing business you'll need to interpret financial statements, understand inventory turn over, beer licenses and distributorship agreements for gas.
