First time investor looking for advice!

[Adam Tamer]

Hey everyone, 
I'm looking to make my first investment into real estate this year and love the BRRRR strategy. To give a little background, I have about 6 months of historical W-2 income (just graduated from college in December) with little money saved up, and my partner has a nest egg of cash on hand but no steady historical income. That being said, neither of us can qualify for a loan from a traditional lender.

 Do private lenders generally look at the investment opportunity more so than individual financial history? Also, when refinancing the home after the rehab and lease-up, will conventional lenders still refinance the property even though we would not qualify for a home purchase initially? If so, are there any stipulations that come with being in the situation that I described above?

Lastly, I would greatly appreciate any advice/stories from someone who has done used the BRRRR method to start out their real estate journey!
