@Chris Weaver yeah, these are pretty common in the real estate investor space.  25% down (or 25% equity left in the property when refinancing) is the normal requirement. 

I'd also connect with someone local that is doing what you're considering and ask them about their success in the space and if they have any advice for you. 

You screwed up by not addressing this before leasing the space.2.

With that type of starting capital, you'll have some space to scale 'relatively' quickly, but start with one, maybe two, and familiarize yourself with turnaround times and payment/draw schedules as you go. 

Second for the yard, remind them that it is a shared space and to be accessible to both people.

AgreePeople are paying money to learn to overpay for real estate, put little to no money down and have no reserves and think it’s all goodSimilar thing happened in the multifamily space with a certain guru teaching people to buy Mf and raise $ and how did that work at for those newbies?

Marv, I have been doing digital marketing in this space for the last decade.

Hi James, I am also in the investment real estate space in Halifax, and would love to connect for a chat sometime! 

In the multifamily space, this normally means that a building will be negative cash flow for a period of time, and that you would need to put cash/sweat equity in to turn things around. 

There are a few on BP who have successfully operated in those spaces.
