(I don't even know if this is even an option but the last thing I would rather not do) give a little percentage

Now, new people trying to get into this market are paying 35% (and up to 70% based on the rental rate - some take a higher percentage with each additional day of the month the property rents). 

what I would do:1) don't announce to the world that you recently came into a lot of moneyb) ignore all the messages in your inbox that contain "deals" and people that want to "connect"third, dollar cost average into low fee index funds a certain percentage of the money (say half)lastly create a "ladder" of syndications with the other half- spread out your money geographically and by asset class, this will also create a spread of exit dates. another key aspect of this strategy is to do business with several GP groups to reduce key man risk.sorry for your lossalohasteve

hello all,so i found a private lender and i told him of my plans to BRRRR properties...we never really spoke of the percentage i will be giving him, i just kind of suggested that it would be whatever made more sense for him as i would just be grateful and willing to show him how great this could be for us both...i have since been analyzing properties and am getting ready to approach him with some of the deals i found...I am now just nervous about now asking for the money because i'm sure he has been thinking about the risk etc especially since this is all so new to me as well and he is aware of this...Is there some kind of form or steps to show him that i will be taking to assure him of his money?

What is a typical percentage of rent increase would you recommend?

It then gives a percentage increase/decrease.

@John Lewellen make sure you network with local investors to check your percentages.

Although your percentages are solid, consider massaging them a bit.
