Asset manager role would be to give advice on property that could be value added and increase the income on a property by small or big tweaks.

Any advice would be great!

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.

I prefer small Strip malls or self storage.I need advice on how to find the deals, how to get lending on them and then how to set up the structure.I have flexibility to fly out next month is there are peers who can meet and help me out in their local markets.thanks,Paul 

For instance, lenders in SC can offer a downpayment assistance (and a related first responder/veteran loan) program through SC Housing Authority.

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.

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).

This is great advice!
