If you consider compounding effects, it's actually closer to 6% annualized return, and this still doesn't take into account the discount rate (remember, cash in-hand today is worth more than the same amount of cash in the future).Assuming a discount rate of about 3% (what you could get in a 3-year CD at essentially no risk), the actual discounted return is about 3.2%, or less than half of the 6.6% it appears to be using simple annual percentage rate calculations.So, if the OP thinks he can get more than 3% return on the $300K, he should take the $300K now...

However, they will of course start with a few deals so I do not want to give up half of my profits to my friend when I have other investors to use.My friend is going to be doing no work, so essentially he just brought the fund to me.Thank you for the advice!!
