My "sporting goods" business takes some bucks for inventory...sometimes 32,33,34k for one item.

If your pockets are TRULY EMPTY then you are not bringing one of the four items to the table that an investment needs: - Money - Time - Opportunity - SkillsIf you can provide either opportunity or skill in some fashion, you can likely partner with someone with the money.

With closing costs and other minor items, I figure I'll end up about 74k all-in. 

They usually require that you pay for all plans and permit fees and have foundation in before you receive your first draw so the fact that these items seem to be in place already might make it easier for you. 

Usually $2,800-$3,300, then you add the prepaid items such as insurance, taxes, etc..I can give you the names of two lenders that can do the loan.

Most people want a move in ready place and are afraid of the cost of fixing an item.  

We did have some unexpected items.  

The calculator is showing that after all of those items factored in I should still have a cashflow of $250+.  

Having even the impression that they had a bidder, who you turned off to look at your item is a quick way to get a bad rep and kicked out of future ones.

The most beneficial item here is that the interest rate (8% or so) was still was accruing on my original balance (while I'm borrowing my own money).
