Hey @Cameron MarroPersonal Loan or Line of Credit: If you have decent credit, a personal loan or line of credit could give you access to the cash you need for renovations without using your property as collateral.

They say the average amount of water per day a person uses is 80 to 100 gallons , Lets call it 60 to be conservative .

Personal money How did you add value to the deal?

Told them to do a drive by and call me back with an offer :)The person who called you probably just spent $15,000 for mentoring and “education”, and is now in panic that his 250 cold calls have not produced anything .  

Over the years, we have built quite a network of agents that bring us quality off market properties in the areas that we desire.

And what if the one person you didn't check has a criminal background, has collections, and more?

There is an amount that you can distribute from an IRA account to purchase a personal residence.You then might be able to turn the personal residence into an investment property.Best of luck.

If you need more to do the rehab, perhaps instead of partnering, you could get your former boss to do a personal loan. 

I personally haven't done this but I have helped clients do it in the past.Hit me up if you're interested!

I inherited a partnership in a 22 unit commercial building with 8 restaurants, a grocery store, a couple of personal care services, and various other businesses.
