@Alex Boursiquot mainly decided how much equity you want to put into a deal.

You can also refi it to pull out the equity once you rehab it, and use that money for your next deal or project.

If you own or have significant equity in your personal home, it may be worth the legal protection.

My hope is that I can capture some equity here without using ANY of my own moneyThanks in advance for any help:) ...and sorry for the poor formatting, it's getting lateShare PDF ReportShare PDF ReportShare PDF ReportC

if you like the deal just bring in the required equity and close.. not sure what the issue is.. unless your capital constrained and if its that tight then you may rethink the whole thing as stuff happens with flips.. you need a really good amount of reserves to be doing this safely.

What I think you want to do is pulled forced equity out of your property. 

Like you mentioned you sure have a family issue that's driving your decision.The only thing I would add is something called Share equity financing arrangement.

Also SBA loans are tough to get and your investors are not going to want to sign on those as they will forever be personally responsible for them there is no BK relief if your deal does not work.. if they are equity and your deal does not work they just lose their cash but you will be on the hook forever for the loan..
