This is where (in addition to the Quartz) you have have the wow factor that can draw someone in at a low relative cost.  

You have to be specific when you write, "Seeking Private Money," @Sam Erickson.Are you seeking a silent equity partner or group of investors to form a pool you can draw from and provide a return to, or do you simply want a loan.

Just because you have a balance or not makes no difference, they are looking at the open term.Also, the interest structure seem to vary.1st lender said all draws are prime + their internal rate margin (based on credit report, LTV, DTI)2nd lender said on 1st draw only at 2.99 until 1/2017, remaining draws are prime + their internal rate margin (based on credit report, LTV, DTI)3rd lender said all draws at 1.99% (available possibly until end of year) for 1 year, all draws after are at prime + their internal rate margin (based on credit report, LTV, DTI).

Being 20yrs away from taking mandatory draws and given the amount is small enough that it wont affect my tax bracket this year; I think the best choice is to invest the cash portion into a Solo 401K Roth sub-account and have it grow tax-free.As Brian mentioned: The issue is being able to separately track and manage the two sets of funds with different tax treatment.  

The downside is it could not draw the right buyers, I could loose out with conservative, or fearful bidders, and it might not sell, at which point I would loose a few weeks on the MLS, putting me in no-mans land listing near the holidays.  

I know I have stories, but for some reason, I draw a blank today...except for a neighbor of one of my rentals and her demands!

Although we as professional bidders get frustrated when a new crop of newbies comes in and continually overbids for these assets, but its their right.I draw the line when these same folks with lack of knowledge capacity and collateral abuse Sellers who in most instances are innocent or unknowledgable.  

Take the monthly rate and divide by two and that is the biweekly rate.

I understand with flipping you have to pay ordinary income taxes on the profit.Could anyone explain how taxes would be for a partnership, in which profits would be divided 50-50 in the following scenario: ==one partner (the funding partner) is already in the top income bracket and completely funding the deal, but is not active in the management of the flip.

Why are they drawing your attention?
