@Matt McKinney- private lending for a share of the deal is one option...

Please send me a private message

Additionally, I see this as having potential to be a larger relationship, in which I raise capital from private investors and bring them to him.Can I please have your recommendations/comments about different ways to structure this, both in the short term and long term.Thank you in advance!

Would this be considered a Private Placement?

Because cash is short, I've been exploring the idea of working with a partner, private money, etc.

Maybe a private Landlord with a few rentals could handle it with little effort.
