I wanted to get a $400,000 loan from a rich guy I know, and I wouldn't have to pay him back for 15 years. I would pay him back in increments of 25% of the loan per year and an additional $20,000 after the full amount is paid off. I am going to school currently and starting a renewable energy business, and he wants to help me focus on getting everything done by relieving me of my immediate financial burdens so I can focus on the goals at hand. My question is what amount of this money will the government consider if my bank account suddenly has $400,000 in it?
