Hello,I am looking for ideas of how to set up either a 'loan method' or a partnership with an individual private investor who has as a couple of his main objectives to 1) reduce his current tax liability, and 2) make a return as good or better than stocks/mutual funds while diversifying, and 3) possibly turn these loans/investments in a good 'income stream' in about 10 or so years when he is ready to retire.

Mike H. my intent here is not to change the minds of self educated older landlords but to educate those willing to learn the foundations and principles of real estate that most have skipped over.
