Investor went Ghost on me: Now what?

[Breelon Bryant]

Hey Family. So I got a deal on this Single family converted into a duplex. Me and another investor were supposed to go in on it together. I am supposed to put up 10% of the ARV and he funds the other 65% which covers alot of the rehab and have the other 25% for the refinance. So I know him and met him for multiple times now and the house is supposed to close this friday. I can still buy the house(distressed) cash but unsure about the path to get funding for the construction portion. Should I close first then get a construction loan? <———If so should I put it in my name for easier bank funding or put in LLC? OORR Should I get a hard money lender to buy and fund the deal? Appreciate any help and funding references as well. Thanks
