Being nice however is not to say I'm naive, so I'm trying to determine an acceptable interest rate that won't work against my own interests as an equity partner but also allows for an acceptable return on my money.In trying to determine what was reasonable in this circumstance I realized that outside of some accounting and finance classes in college, notes; bonds; and other debt instruments are pretty foreign to me in this context.

I'm europpean and I read everywhere that to attend to this exam, one must provide a valid SS number which obv I dont have since I'm a foreigner.

Chris,We can certainly meet and exchange ideas.......

That means you might want to look at a 1031 exchange.

Perhaps your business can offer some value to those you identify and exchange your value add for their knowledge or a look see into their business.

You could purchase notes from note funds, servicers, and loan exchanges.

This combined with the foreign fighter flow (FFF) should be cause for concern.

What about a scenario where the investor contributes the lot and/or some capital and you do the work in exchange for an equity share?

I just explain that I buy real estate, making the transaction as easy on the seller as possible, and in exchange expect to purchase it below market value.

It kind of depends on what the agreement says, what words were exchanged, and if you are chasing the money or taking it out of a deposit.
