14. Debt Investors :-
Debt investors are people that invest money in your deal for a fixed rate of return. They make an actual
loan on the underlying property and you agree to pay them a certain interest rate and make monthly
payments over a certain amount of time until the loan is paid in full.
Debt investors do not get equity in the deal or “participate” in additional profits.
Debt investors are the least expensive investor but they take a long time to find. I typically pay my debt
investors 6-8% interest only and most prefer to be in first lien position on the property so I usually only
use debt investors if I can raise 100% of the funds needed to close the deal.
Equity Investors:- Equity investors are people that invest money in your deal for a percentage of the
profits.
Typically these are the investors that get a percentage of the monthly cash flow plus a percentage of the
equity.
Equity investors are the most expensive investors you can have in your deal but they take the least
amount of time to find.
quity investor puts up 25% of the deal then s/he is entitled to 25% of the profit (cash flow + equity).
