Get approved for a loan from either an HML or Private Money person- Why would they lend to you? 

If you do you may run the risk of piercing the corporate veil of your LLCs making you personally liable for business debts. 

Option 3: Find a better investment at this time.Stop thinking of yourself as a real estate investor and start thinking of yourself as a well rounded investor.Pay off your mortgage: Your money is not working for you when you spend it on liabilities like a personal residence.Buy Rentals with little/no cash flow: You are speculating what a rental will be worth in 20-30 years.

Personally, i dont have any family here in Boston, just college friends, who will graduate and go to different places or back home.

As soon as interest rates or your personal situation are favorable you can then refinance at any time and eliminate the hard money lender.

Personally I love quadplexes.

I personally would have to have one of the windows replaced before I'd feel comfortable renting it, but that's just me and based on personal experience including a traumatic one from childhood in watching the apartment building next to ours burn in the middle of the night.

The finished product and getting the rewards from the fruit of the labor is way down the line.
