If anything, their 1st position mortgage (75% of ARV) will have even more equity due to the 5 star rehab this property will be receiving. 

I have a lot of energy to learn and understand how the real estate Investing works.

If you are thinking about energy saving upgrades like new windows or upgrades to heating or cooling you can save a lot of money by working with their programs.- Think about the wiring.

Unfortunately they weren't the shining stars I was hoping for so I'm curious about a few items as I haven't been able to get any concrete answers from my research.1.

If you get it done, you should thank your lucky stars, and I'm extending every hope that you will.But you probably won't, and you'll be the reason all the gurus have to put up the disclaimer, "ASSUME MOST PEOPLE MAKE NOTHING."

It’s sounds like you have a lot of good energy. 

I just put cheap bulbs in and let the tenant put energy efficient ones if they want. 

Even if you engage a broker, you should still shop around an additional couple lenders yourself (if you have the time/energy).Freddie SBL loans cap at 50 units, so you won't be able to take advantage of that program (unless they can somehow make an exception), but there are still great Agency (Fannie/Freddie) programs that would work. 

It’s a complete waste a time, money, and energy if you don’t talk with them.Don’t over think this.

Their energy is spent trying to work something with them (a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush).
