I have some family that want to invest in our heard (5) by adding some of there own. How do you guys handle this situation and is it worth it? What stipulations should I follow to protect myself? I really dont have a problem with it if i am going to be the main beneficiary. Other than that i dont want everyone to think im here to cowsit everyone's investment. Of course i want a positive return every year, but if its not worth the hassle of using someone else's money i will pay for it all myself. Please reply any comments as they are all helpful. I listed this urgent because we have family in town now and i just want to have some suggestions face to face with them. I am getting the feeling that maybe i could be taken advantage of without everyone's good advice on this board, so thank you in advance everybody.
