No, I said I was confused. i did not say I had no point of view. that was an assumption on your part. my confusion stems from the fact that there are no real basic answers.

#1-I did work in the investment banking groups of one of teh largest financial institutions so please dont think of me as some business neophyte thanks ( i was a chaprassi there btw )

#2- I am not worried about fancy words ecoshan. I just dont like fancy words getting in the way of a simple answer. I appreciate your financial experience,

so the payment methode would be that suppose if u have to pay back $1000 a month as basic payment which is interest free just like conventional banking, instead of interest, or rent on money u would pay rent on the 90% of the house which Lariba owns and suppose its $600 dollars a month. so $1000 interest free payment and $600 rent would make it $1600 a month. now u would be thinking its almost the same thing, for conventional u were paying $1585 a month and for Lariba u r paying $1600 a month, but thats not the case, in conventional u have to pay 1585 for 20 years, and in lariba first month u paid 1600 hundred but next month u wont pay 1600 cuz next month Lariba doesnt own 90% of the house cuz u have paid em back 1000. so they just own 89%, so ur payment would be $1598 instead of 1600, then next month lariba would own only 88% instead of 89% cuz u paid another 1000 so ur mortgage payment would be 1596, and next month 1594 and next month 1592 and so on. ur share in parternship is increasing and Lariba's is decreasing.
similar to how your payment for principal is increasing and interest is deceasing in a conventional mortgage and if you think of the interest as the banks 'share' of the profit, you are really not doing anything much different.

if the house sells, if your house sells and you have a conventional mortgage you get your equity back too.

ask the lariba boys what happens when the property value tanks. they cant sell the house or the house sells for much below the initial price. so lets say teh $400K house is now $300K, and its sold, what happens. you are saying that i dont lose my shirt?
