I'm a big believer in what we call "inclusive growth" in my industry, which is broadly working to expand the benefits of economic growth to populations that are sometimes left behind within traditional growth models or political systems.

Thanks for your expertise!

My expertise is low was I am relatively new in the business (1 year).All suggestion will be appreciated.

Yes, many hard money lenders have gone that route, and it's had horrific effects on our market, laws, and reaped havoc on our industry.Truth is, that for many of us, who are more conservative hard money lenders, our business model NEVER makes money when the borrower defaults.Yes, you heard me right.

In addition, keep in mind that there are "easier" ways to "pool" resources (capital, expertise, etc.) that do not involve a "fund".

But, as I edited above, her fico is 799, a model financial citizen. 

Catia V5-6 can build relationship designs to sq ft per say, so if I change sq ft everything changes internally or whatever I choose is revised easily without redo , for better or worse, and has alot more capability :) Expensive tho....Here is a Catia model I am currently work on...

I get back any repair/improvement costs, and the rest is 50/50.Of course, according to the 50% rule, I would not make any money per month and only on the sale assuming appreciation; but if there is a vacancy, the investor doesnt get anything, so we split that risk.I would appreciate any comments or criticisms about this model.

@Tim Touchette I just came across this old thread, and I actually your business model would be great for a certain type of person that I and many Realtors work with.  

Those that have other models wlll have much different ways of accomplishing their goals and making them bite-sized.
