The money is a consequence of a job well done.

I told them that I work with real estate investors that would be able to help them and put some money in their pocket to help them with their crushing debt and bills so they wont go into foreclosure on both houses How did you finance this deal?

One good thing about building a 2-4 unit as a primary is you less money down and you can use the other units as income to help build a more expensive home.FHA allows for a higher loan amount as you get into the 2, 3 and 4 unit homes and its still only 3.5% down.

Especially if they are a money partner only. 

Always hard money lenders at the meetups and normally some wholesalers as well.Just remember your best deals are probably not from wholesalers, but the deals you generate yourself. 

If you’re considering managing trades yourself, be prepared for scheduling and quality control challenges, but it can save you money if done right.

I contacted the author of this article to assist me with finding a hard money lender.
