A friend of mine is starting a fund, where passive investors buy in (I think it's a minimum of $100k or $250k, can't quite remember), they receive 10 or 11% (works out to be 50% of a strong rental return) annually with the exit strategy to sell in 10 years, then splitting the capital gain (read: profits) 50/50 between the fund and the investors.Fairly straight forward, is this somewhat similar to what you're suggesting?

You have no income or savings to help you get out of any bind you might find yourself in. I
