Private Lending for Duplex - House Hack

[Jessica Boatwright]

My spouse and I visited a property today that is a fixer-upper duplex. It's in a desirable location in Durham, NC and our goal is to house hack. Our real-estate agent informed us that we can't get traditional financing for the property because of its condition so we are trying to figure out how we can get financing through another means such as a hard money loan. I am happy to provide more information but am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for finding financing for a situation like this one. Thank you in advance!
