With respect, private money is not a commodity item like a book or laptop that you can buy online, and perhaps enjoy the protection of a credit card.

I'm a contractor,& have worked with Realtors extensively.have your Realtor ask around the office for someone that does repairs/inspection punch list items, they will be able to clean up that mess for you at a MUCH lower priceYou most likely won't have black mold, but Dawn dish washing soap will cleanse everything of mold"Home inspectors will verify"secondly, after all the moisture,& suspected mold has been cleaned/dried, you can simply use good sealer/primer on wood,& concreteI would guestimate around $3,000-$6000 for the entire job including hardwoodsMake sure you block any air intrusions in the crawlspace areas, Colorado can be hard on water lines :O}

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. 

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order there is no charge to attend.

I think I love food more than passive income so I will definitely try it out!

Though the city needs a lot of work in terms of crime and school, there aren't too many small/mid size cities with the arts, food, nightlife, access to suburbs, lakes, wine region, etc. that Rochester has while having extremely low taxes. 

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.
