I hope it's not too late to invoke the partner aspect, it allows you to be a lot more demanding in terms of your due diligence, and it allows you to not be the bad guy if you have to turn them down ("I wish I could have helped you but my partner said no and we can't invest any of our money unless we both approve the investment").To your original question, IF you decided to make a loan like this, I would see three options:Unsecured personal loan (weakest/worst/don't do it option)Secured loan - they buy property and you are the lender secured by a mortgage on property (better)Rent-to-own - you buy property and they rent from you with an option to buy (questionable esp w/ family, may be tricky or illegal depending on how structured, etc. and see next point re: owner-occupied)However another aspect is that since this would be an owner-occupied property, there are a ton of consumer protection laws (Dodd-Frank) that apply.

George Gammon "negative rates distort everything" warren buffet. how about RE?
3 March 2016 | 29 replies
This kind of thinking is emotionally based and does not take into account affordability, price/rent ratio, net present value or other rational factors.Per The Economist, "If you take the 24 years covered by the US data and divide them into three, then the average house price gain when real rates were high was greater (at 2.25%) than when real rates were low (1.7%)".So how does this play out in a long term negative interest rate environment?
