Borrowing other people's money
I have a person trying to sell 10 homes, pretty much his whole portfolio. I would like to buy the homes unfortunately I dont have that type of money. How do I go about borrowing money to buy the homes and then getting a loan from the bank to pay the person back?

Setting up the loan is the easy part. If you've got your investor in agreement with you, you guys can just go to an attorney & Realtor to get the purchase agreement & loan paperwork all setup. That said you appear to be in an embryonic stage of this business. I find it very hard to believe that someone would be willing to invest $280,000 with you at this time. The risk level for them would be insane. I feel like you're chasing your tail here. My advise to you would be to get a job working in the real estate industry for while. Save up your money while gaining some experience then use it on a few of your own deals. Build up a resume then pitch investors when you're able to talk the talk & walk the walk. Right now it just looks like you're going to be running into a wall.
