Multifamily deal, but how to fund??

[Ian Ray]

BiggerPockets, The BP signal is going up in the sky!  I need help!

I have a few questions for you.  I was approached today by a friend who told me about a 12 unit apartment/town-home mix that is up for sale by a highly motivated seller for 299,999.  I also have been made aware that that pricepoint is very flexible.   My only issue is that the seller wants proof of funds up front before any serious discussion occurs.

So I ask myself, do I try and talk myself past that and get the property under contract anyway? 

Or do I try and shop the deal to the investor previous to it being under contract?  I am not sure the best way to go into this.

The proforma numbers look decent (I will post them below), but I am unsure how to proceed at this juncture.  Any advice or ideas?
