In exchange I have a mortgage note and receive 25% of net earnings.

Besides all the abuse documented above and as mentioned he insisted that anything I earned whether I did all the work or not would need to be split with him 50/50 since we were 'business partners'.

Mary has been more than patient and charitable and I hope she can get possession soon without having to loose any more of her hard earned money.

My big "why" is that I am staying home with my one year old now but will need to start earning income again in a couple of years.

Hello all.I am trying to embank on a joint venture rehab project and contacted a private money lender who want to charge me 1% interest for 6 months on $50,000 loan. 1% interest =$500*6=$3000 plus additional $5000 =$8000 for the 6 months duration with no extra charge at the end.

If you're not so comfortable with yourself, and you feel it may be more beneficial to have the extra support and guidance of an involved partner, then that is the way you should go.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I have been working full time for 6 years and i earn very good salary and every 6 months, i get constantly new offer for higher salary. i want to invest 150K euros, it might be small, but this is what i have at the moment.

Christine,Be sure to give extra time to the Insurance search. 

I tell them, "congratulations, you just earned a "C" on your report card.When the code doesn't demand something it's a hard sell “green” to most clients/investors who have a limited budget and need every dollar for their projects.
