If your talking about a multi unit it that you live in one unit then having savings is likely your best bet.

Your best bet is to either get a job working for a PM or partner with a PM to build the business.

I think you need to more likely look at a CTP (construction to permanent) loan and your best bet with that tends to be a local banker in your area.  

The value of the home is worth a little more than that as given its poor upkeep over the years its value receded somewhat.

Have a 1960s 30 unit single story motel where we are coming up on some end of life issues: the cast iron plumbing is disintegrating underneath bathrooms, radiators are starting to leak, electrical is in poor condition, and just today, discovered significant termite damage affecting multiple rooms.

If I do I will essentially be house poor and shackled to this mortgage for the rest of my life. 

Or is Indio a good safe bet with potential appreciation - especially the Terra Lago area?

Hi James, Your best bet is to search Google or BiggerPockets for hard money lenders in your area.However, you can also contact private money lenders directly and shop around for the best price yourself. 

You will spend 10X on repairs and servicing of a poorly manufactured window so better to spend a little extra up front.I've recently had success using Harvey slimline windows on some rehabs.
