If coming up with the down payment is an issue, you could find a joint venture partner - someone who has the cash and is willing to partner with you on the project.

And I am not ready to venture into MFH yet.

@Jo-Ann Lapin  flipping was definitely my goal when I took on this venture, but I have transition into learning  and knowing how to buy and hold instead.

What if you just pulled half of the equity out to fund a new venture?

However, remember you can't personally guarantee loans for IRA so you would be able to use the funds to use in others' ventures but I don't think you can use those funds to leverage. 

More of a joint venture I guess to obtain the home with other peoples money and then fixing up and managing the properties myself once the ARV is higher and I can cash out the people who put the money in.

From what I've read, this sounds like a joint venture. 

I just went ahead and paid him for the $13k he requested because he explained to me what he was doing with the money and how that will affect the overall workflow if I tried to decrease any of that amount.

and dive into our new venture.

If you don't have this character trait then forget ever being successful.It's not a good idea to dump your hard earned money into a new business venture no matter how certain you are if you don't have the business acumen to back it up (with experience)...
