I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

Use AirDNA to get a better feel for what may be projected and then dive into Airbnb and compare to your competitors. 

I learned a lot from both projects and hope to learn more. 

Been moving along with this project. 

I have spent the past 12 months as an independant contractor and wish to finance a project.

I think the before vs after pictures really speak primarily to your experience and ability to execute a project so it can help lenders gain comfort with future projects and allow you demonstrate what level of detail you except out of your contractors.

Ask them if they have any projects they are seeking hard money on.

If you were only going to net 10k and the fees male you a lose then it was never a good deal.If you keep project costs less than 72.5% of the ARV then no lending can screw you. 

They will look at the ENTIRE cost of the project and calculate what they can offer you in loan amount.
