I don`t think anyone is going to offer funds to anyone unless there`s some sort of collateral, or there`s a probable likelihood of getting those funds back. Right now, it`s a bit difficult to understand how you`re offering business logic and reasoning as to how those monies would be returned. If a line of credit isn`t going to do it, then maybe you`ll have to have a financial partner. Either way, it`s looking to me as though you`ll need a pretty solid business plan and presentation---and I`m not all that knowledegable. RobertJ has the professional background to comment.

1)  I don`t get commissions on the sale
2) The broker doesn`t actually own the property (unless they are broke to themselves)
3) I am the seller
4) Since I am not a Broker, In order to "broker" a deal I would need a Broker (unless I could sell direct - Would require some changes on my contracts - working on it ) 

CraigL,

You know , You may not realize it, but your response just inspired a possible solution

- I`ll offer it as a joint venture
- they`ll put up the collateral
- all returns will be deposited into the collateral account
- ideally the account grows until the gains are equal to the initial deposit (collateral investment)
- at which point the investor can stay in or take a 50% cut of the gains and cash out.

since the money is being used for collateral  in lieu of credit, limits to the amount and frequency can be set to minimize potential loss if business shows signs of poor performance. The length of the partnership could even be predetermined by the minimum time necessary to establish credit worthiness and extended if both parties agree.
   
Does that sound the least bit rational at face value?
