A family member was interested so I offered to sell it to them with very little profit.

If I offer too high and they take it right away then I have offered too much for the deal no matter what the price and I have lost a bit more profit.

In these turnkey operations, the company doing the work almost always makes all the money (as it should be).To answer your question directly, buying cash flow by putting more money into the deal doesn't change the quality of the deal.If you can actually sell this property at a profit or even break-even, I would do so.

Larry, That would be one method, but would depend on the lender.If the property has not yet been purchased, you could buy it using an LLC, get the commercial loan in the name of the LLC and then transfer the ownership of the LLC, but this would also depend on the specific lender.The best option I see in this situation is to use the land trust.If you do not care about the new buyer knowing what your profit is, why not simply assign the contract to him/her for yoiur spread, and forget about the LLC and land trust?

I am now offering them for sale, at small profit for myself and to move them in this difficult market..I have listed them at about 40% - 50% below similiar lots in the community ( ranges from $25k - 65k).

I wish to pay either a set interest rate on a type of renewable 1 year bond (Similar to how some insurance companies accept investment) Or 35% net profit on my individual investments from the investment pool (The business is related to buying and turning foreclosure real estate).Any help would be appreciated!

He knows its hard for me and that Im going to have to work hard to sell to people that I will return there money with a profit and to invest in me.

Split profits or preferred rate of return?

I do believe you can make good money rehabbing old houses and selling them for profit.3.

Then we will purchase the house with our own mortgage and figure in an additional $5k for his profit into the selling price.
