Profit allocation

In Reply to: Allocation of Profit and Risk to Investors posted by Sean Wagle on April 10, 2002 at 11:05 PM

: Considering that a foreclosure deal takes several months for the "ringleader" to bring it from purchase to resale, how would investor profit be fairly allocated, considering that each deal could have a different percentage of investor money as available?

: For example, in a deal with 90% of your own money, and 10% from a passive investor, it would seem reasonably fair to just split the profit 90/10.

: But if it was the other way around, then you wouldn't want to do all the heavy lifting for only 10%, and hand off 90% just for "backing". (And it probably wouldn't be worth the time and effort for such a small slice.)

: I had a relative invest in a rehab business that promised 20% returns. The market slowed, the business owner stopped paying, and she had to put liens on him. She did get payed back, after a while, so at least it wasn't a scam or a sad story in the end.

: But it makes me think the best way to do deals is by percentage share of the risk. Promising anyone a fixed return is unrealistic, because of all the uncertainties of the game. Have you had to face your investors and say "Sorry, we lost on this one. Wanna try again?"

Sean, in my deals investor monies get 50% of the profit. The other 50% stays with our company for its overhead expenses and profit share.

In the case above, the 50% going to the investors would be split 90/10. But in all cases 50% of profit would go to the investor pool and split according to the % amount of cash contributed by the various investors in the pool.
