Make sure they understand how it benefits them- makes them more comfortable since there wouldn't be a draft caused by the door, explain that a rise in heating costs this year translates into increased rent for them next year.  

I'm sure it has other benefits too, but it seems like that is the real reason to do it.

But like John I would have questions about my benefits of the partnership.  

I hope to be benefited from you all !

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

I can see benefit from having one but I'm not sure how they would benefit directly.

*Remember his ask is 525k*.Financing options : 10% down 10-20 year CD option (which I find of HUGE benefit). 

We leverage VA benefits and military housing to acquire properties and have a safety net in the process. 

The benefit is that the funds can be liquidated to cash so that they become FLEXIBLE and can be used for anything (marketing, payroll, operations, office rent, etc)...not just acquisition or rehab like traditional real estate funding sources. 

It sounds like you are giving them unsecured, uninsured money with a promise of a future benefit.
