I am planning on using a private lender for my 20% down payment. 

@Jasmine RussellPersonally as someone who gets vetted by investors as I partner on every deal- I always give my LLC names, portfolio website as well as active/off market listings and go through what I’ve done Anything they’re offering you’re going to want to vetIf theyre a deal -maker (gets it under contract and executes with private partners) then you want to know how they go about their process and show p&s etc they’ve signed Public tax records are a wealth of info tooHope this helps!

After all we did tour the building last week so they know something is up.

I was thinking that through a non-traditional/private lender that I could buy the property for something like $500-550k and then resell it, even if it's for a small profit.

Please feel free to private message me.Best regards,

In that case, I would probably set up a single member LLC (perhaps in Wyoming where it is private and inexpensive).

If you didn't want to do the house hack and just buy a rental, you could possibly BRRRR and use hard money or private money but again, you'd want to talk to banks first to make sure that you'll be able to re-fi. 

My first goal would be to automate a majority of the processes such as lock codes, online portal to schedule visits, tours & payments, submit questions.

One unit is currently vacant which I toured today and the windows looked to be in rough shape but the thing I am most concerned about is in the bedroom there was mold in one corner growing on the drywall that started about 2 inches up the wall and ended about 6 inches up the wall.

I would like to raise private money from investors I know personally to syndicate a commercial multi-family project(under $1 million and between 2-12 units).
