My wife and I recently have started our journey into Real Estate Investing. We have had a few walk through and done property analysis on several properties, but are not really cognizant of what we are getting into. We...

Are they giving advice about the policy and inspection? 

I don't know how to make this happen but the numbers work well, so I'm looking for creative advice/equity partners/private money/hard money  for how to make this happen, and then when my business sells I can pay back the loan and find financing at that point to continue the rehab.

Or find a property that is under-utilized or has below market rents.Otherwise, you could also do the OPPOSITE of the great advice from @Jonathan Greene and buy a property with multi-bed units or live in the larger unit and rent out the smaller unit - while getting a roommate(s).

Any advice would be great!

Good advice!

Thanks for the advice—definitely keeping those points in mind as I search for the right deal.

The more you know upfront, the less your spreadsheet surprises you down the road.One last note: I’m not a lawyer or CPA, so keep this strictly as friendly advice.

I’d appreciate any advice. 

My advice - use your cash to learn how to joint-venture on a deal with someone who has experience.
