Starting out, I would try to take equity from your primary/another property using a HELOC, borrower against a 401k/retirement account, or partner with someone that has cash. 

This could be a great way to get started as you'll be at the property everyday and by living in the property not only will you be there firsthand to oversee the work being done, but you may also find new potential issues while living there.If you're looking to do this, I'd recommend a 203k loan to purchase the property and get some rehab funds. you'll just need to live in the property for a year before being able to lease it out to a tenant.

However, I've learned a lot from that experience and am willing start over again- Make sure you stay on the top of them and fully account for the draws being taken as if they (Builder) have multiple projects I've seen where one individual's draw gets comingled with another property.

Maybe look at numbers and properties you could do a potential house hack and begin to plot out moves but I don't want you to fall into the analysis paralysis group and never make a move, have people that will encourage and keep you accountable. 

I also asked if there was accounting I could see that shows my share of the equity as a whole? 

@Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.Arn

Maximizing cashflow becomes a strategy choice that accounts for your market and tenants.

or perhaps a reverse build to suit where the data center operator controls the buildout and the planning etc.I've not been involved in a data center first hand but the central OH market is pretty data and warehouse heavy as far as developments go and to echo the posts here, the power requirements are wild, and the red tape to get that power to the site is often cumbersome. 

I’m an out-of-state investor working on building my online presence, and I’m currently running into an issue with setting up my Google My Business (GMB) account.

Hi, Jaycee The deal makes sense for me after accounting for all expenses including vacancy, cap ex, and repairs.
