To be honest with you, it sounds that you are just beginning to learn about wholesaling and creative finance tactics altogether. 

Has anyone had any luck on structuring a deal with seller financing to obtain the land, then use a lender for the horizontal development infrastructure.

Acquisition people, asset managers, finance/accounting roles are all needed to run properties, even if the property management is outsourced.  

Hey Jason - if it's a 1-4 unit, you would need to value it based off the sales comp approach (assuming the buyer is using debt financing).

Creative financing options like seller financing and partnerships can help build a successful portfolio.Good luck!

.), I'd recommend that the residential units fully cash flow the loan as my experience is that mixed use properties are tougher to finance as most lenders tend to prefer one or the other and something in the middle gets more difficult.For example, and granted I don't know anything about the area/neighborhood, I would expect this property (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/111-NW-Har...) to be easier to finance than the mixed-use property you mentioned. 

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate.

I prefer AZ myself personally (lived in Prescott 4 years and Tucson for one and loved both places), but for many people NYC can’t be beat especially if they’re trying to make a name for themselves in careers in finance, art, theatre, music etc. it’s practically a requirement to live there for certain careers.
