@Alexander Green first and foremost you have to be strong financially before any lender will look at your project.

Need help to build a French drain and determine sewer clog using camera. Any suggestions?

Even if a conventional Fannie/freddie lender will not finance it, there are always portfolio lenders (who make their own decisions on a case-by-case basis), commercial loans (yes, they can be made on less than five units) and last but CERTAINLY not least, private individuals (a massively underutilized financing source, IMHO)I think your bigger issue might be insurance, rather than financing.  

I am looking to use my money to be a lender to an investor/real estate agent whom has a project to be started.I just received the contract and it seems pretty straight forward, but i want to make sure and double check i got my T's crossed and I's dotted. 

Unless you can devote fair amount of time and resources to manage the project, there are a lot of ways a project like this can go wrong.

If I could add to what John Leavelle said  ; it could cost as much as $60,000 to do a full Rehab here in the Philadelphia Area        My Friend Sean just did a Rehab in the Port Richmond Area Close to Fishtown and he it was $60,000        Sean has done many flips and I thought he went as "Budget" as you possibly can , for an example ; he paid $7,000 for a brand new HVAC  (Heat & Air Conditioning)  with new duct work , where that would have been double in the open retail market       Good luck with the project & feel free to reach out to me if you need any help or have questions SincerelyRick      

You can do flipping as a part-time but it will require a lot of work and a lot of your free time devoted to ensuring that your contractors are on time and that your project moves swiftly and efficiently

They charge by the hour or project to provide UNBIASED advice, not motivated by selling you something.  

I'm working on a project in Costa Rica. 

I still use my HELOC to purchase properties (HELOC >> Personal bank account >> Capital contribution to LLC), but I take enough credit out to cover the loan cost of the project (pay your HELOC with your HELOC).
