If there were any bank that takes two borrowers and splits the loan amount per borrower, that would've been most optimal.

How that pertains to flipping I can honestly say I’m not sure, but something to possibly keep in the back of your mind.but for something a bit more practical, I know that there is tons of resources for both multifamily and flipping on BP in podcasts and books.

I was not aware of this resource.

If a bank won't touch them even with all their resources, what makes you feel more competent?

An additional income stream - in this case, you will need to work on optimizing your profit.

I’ve got some resources on investing in value-add commercial real estate.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly or make a comment on this post if you have any references or links to helpful resources. 

Both are possible but with the wealth of knowledge resources available, getting a private lending partner through networking would be ideal to fund those first acquisitions.Exhausting those contacts, referral, cold calls to locate one will get you going

Looking for your best advice on additional resources to learn more about investing (besides BP).

The website, youtube channel, podcasts, books and community are all such great resources!
