It seems like we have at least one question a week asking about the requirement for meeting fees when meeting with a private money investor. The person making the inquiry says something like this, “I can’t pay the meeting fees, so could you have them waived?” Then there’s the question like, “I’m not paying for a meeting fee until I know the investor will fund the project, so couldn’t the meeting fee be rolled into the fee due when the project funds?”

No Waiver Of Meeting Fees

Access To private Money can’t waive what we don’t have. The meeting hosting fees are a requirement of the JV Network Company we do business with for the private investors. Since we don’t have the right to waive the fees, we are not in a position to grant a waiver.

We Can’t Give What We Don’t Have

Access To private Money can’t give away what we don’t have. We are also not in a position to subsidize client’s meeting fees. Since no one at Access To Private Money is present at the investor – client meeting, we can’t control what goes on there. As stated in Private Investors and Private Money Meeting Fees the meeting fee goes to the JV Network Company, and Access To Private Money can’t risk what we can’t control.

So if you are thinking that maybe you are the client with a project so good that there has to be an exception for your project to be submitted, consider what you’re asking. Access To Private Money can’t give up what it didn’t have to begin with.

The Rules Of The Game

We all live by rules, and sometimes we don’t like some of the rules. But if you want to play the game of finding a private investor using the network of private investors assembled by the JV Network Company you have to play by their rules.

You have two options, play by the rules and submit your project for consideration, or find another game, another source for private investors. It’s really that simple.

If you choose to use Access To private Money to find private money investors we will be happy to submit your project for you. To get more details about the submission process you can request private money funding information and receive the PDF file Joint Venture Funding Guidelines and Procedures.

Remember the rage of the tube socks where the advertising was “one size fits all.” I recently checked online, and you can still get tube socks that say “One size fits all.” So I guess they are not all out of style.

One Size Fits Most

When it come to socks, the “one size fits all” size seemed to fit most people. But for the really small and the really large, they didn’t fit very well at all.

Private Investors Are Not All One Size

But when it comes to Private Investors and Private Money Lenders, one size doesn’t fit all. It seems simple enough. People are different. They all have different likes and dislikes, ideas and notions of what is reasonable under each circumstance.

But visitors to AccessToPrivateMoney.com keep asking:

“What Do ‘The Investors’ Want For ROI?”

The simple answer is “it all depends.” Each investor has an idea of what he or she would like to make with his/her money. The investor looks at the available projects and decides which seem to be likely candidates to give that type of return. If a project piques the investor’s interest, then the Private Money Investor will want to evaluate it to determine whether the investor can get the return he or she wants.

So… How Is The Private Investor Return Calculated?

Since each Private Investor makes his or her own choice about the return that he/she wants, there is no standard calculation for the ROI. However, every investor wants to be able to share in the profits of the project. That’s why they are investing in the first place.
They are not making loans with a set interest rate. So, they expect to get a percentage of the profits. How much an individual investor wants is up to that investor. But it falls in the range of 20% to 50% of the profits.

Will The Private Money Investor Get Their ROI?

Each project is evaluated by the investor to determine what percent of the profits will give the investor the overall return they want. And it can vary project by project because of the time and risk factor of the investment. Then, if the project would be able to generate the return the investor is seeking, the investor calculates the percentage of the profits that would give that return.

Why is 50% The Upper Limit?

Although it is not a hard and fast rule, the private investor doesn’t want to take too much out of the business. The investor doesn’t want to cripple the business by taking too much out. Also the investor doesn’t want to take so much out that the business owners have no incentive to make the business succeed. It’s a fine line to determine what’s fair and what will give the investment results the investor is seeking.

Every Investor Is Different

Back to the “one size fits all” answer that visitors to AccessToPrivateMoney.com want. Since there is no standard Private Money Investor, there is no standard ROI that an investor wants. The only way to find out what an individual investor wants is to submit your project into the private investor database and see who shows up as interested investors. Then at the investor meeting, that particular investor will say what that investor wants for a return. That’s the ROI for the project with that investor.
