My initial figure is what I'm working with now, and it's going straight to my low to medium investment risk principal.

My e&o insurance will not cover me when Im a principal to the transaction, so Im not willing to risk the liability against my license, as my licenses are the most valuable assets I have.

Disqualified parties are lineal family, business partners and fiduciaries to the plan.His IRA will be the lender, fund the note, and receive the payments of principal and interest from you.So long as the note complies with and is enforceable under state law, the terms can be pretty flexible when it comes to factors such as points, amortization schedule, P&I vs interest only with balloon, etc.

In 5-10 years, interest rates may be way up, but you will have paid a good deal of the principal balance off. 

What is the principal balance, the total equity in the deal if it were to sell this week, and NOI?  

In my experience what I learned is that an FHA loan on a triplex (or quadplex) must meet a self-sufficiency test.  75% of the rental income from the two rental units you're not living in must be greater than your PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance).

If your comparing a $100million 5% cap rate deal to a $1million 8% cap rate deal, then the cash flow you receive from the $100million deal is definitely gonna be bigger than the 8% deal because of the principal you invested.

The only thing that would offset this is if I pay more towards principal.

Also, what is a fair return for a capital Partners as far as interest on their money (down + closing costs) is concerned and what is an ideal repayment schedule for any principal that is not returned once the property is refinanced?

This technique enjoys cash flow, favorable tax rates and additional tax write offs as well as principal pay down.
