With x number of hours in, and time to contemplate what life will be like with the transaction concluded, the other party is more willing to concede points, accept a less favorable outcome, and provide greater advantage to you.The other thought is to QUICKLY separate the “real” deals from the overwhelming majority of buyers, sellers, borrowers, lenders, etc who MAY do a deal IF and only if they are getting the deal of the century.  

There is another, much less stressful and less costly way.We also JV with private capital partners and land flippers to deploy prefab modular homes on our acquired and subdivided properties.If you need any guidance, feel free to connect with me here, on FB, or LI.

To an appraiser and lender, the furniture has no value and there is no guarantee that all of the bookings will actually show up and pay.

Maybe a private lender or hard money lender would lend the balance.

If I am looking for 100k to trade stock and options, where do I find a lender ? 

Use a hard money lender and our own money for the rehab and then refi in our names? 

@Neil WarrenTypically no - lenders don’t lend on down payments.

I had no illusions about acquiring properties this way.Between the tax auctions, the FB groups I'm a part of, and what I see in my day to day as a lender, my general opinion is that there's still too much money chasing too few deals as a whole.

What type of private lending financing do you recomend me? 

That's great, but he needs to talk with a lender and I have referred him to a few.
