Trying To Put Together A Win-win Situation

Hello everyone.



Since I am new I am turning to experts.



Here is the run down..



His mother died leaving the undeveloped 4.20 acres in Washington to her estate to be divided equally amongst the 4 sons.



The property currently has an uninhabitable trailer on it. It has electricity, and road to it and sewage drain field.



One son just moved back up from Calif. He contacted me to see how I can buy out his brothers and build him a home. He can not build on it until he buys them out and has no cash or credit but really wants a new home. While the home is being built I plan to put him to work on getting his general contractor license and getting him gainfully employed so after 6 months he and his wife are in a position to buy the house.



I have great credit and have a couple investors in my back pocket but don’t want to use them unless I need to. He chose a manufactured home company that does not carry loans. They only have preferred lenders. Well I have access to construction loans as well and if I get a construction loan, I figure there will be too many hands in the cookie jar.



I guess what I am asking is there a “proper” way of structuring this so it is a win win?



Did I give enough information? What’s next, or what information do I need to get to make sure I do not make too many mistakes?

    Sounds to me like this guy should sell the land and take his share and buy something else with a substantial down payment where his bad credit is less relavent. It sounds too complicated and risky.
