I enjoy the challenges of earning money. 

Many of those deals have agents on both sides who will earn commissions. 

Quote from @Timothy Villa: Hey y’all just heard about this community and wanted to utilize it to grow more knowledge in how to have real estate help me with earning passive income.Welcome to BiggerPockets!

Unfortunately almost every franchise involves renting the occupied space when the property would have made more money than the business.

When you draw from the equity, you are "borrowing" it from the bank and have to pay interest.If you borrow against the equity at 7% interest and then loan it out at 15% interest, you are earning a positive 8%. 

Some just take the money and disappear.Averaging 8 yrs makes me want a PPM that promises to 721 UPREIT.

Just outline expectations and roles, and what each of you guys are going to do, and how properties will be acquired and how they will be disposed of, and how and when money will be taken out of the company and you should be good.

Are there any hard money lenders that lend 90%?

Is it making you money?

What you’re suggesting is not cash flow, it’s return of principle, giving her her own money back  If she sells with your deal.
