@Troy Peters congrats on the project and never feel bad for asking (we all know better or we'd all be skinny, rich people running around, lol!)  

HML are in the business of making deals.. if your deal won't sustain a HML rate to buy and get ready to rehab.. then maybe your deals are too skinny to begin with.Also private money lenders did not get money being un aware they know what rates are and or cmpare to HML .. so unless again your finding friends and family don't think folks you don't know are just chomping at the bit to loan someone they don't know money.. that simply is not the case.

Prime example being the iPod.

feel free to give me a call to get the skinny on all the REI groups in town. 

My hope is to make a skinny margin or recoup my costs and leave room for the next investor to make a living. 

Get the seller to take back the required down payment and borrow the rest.Try Control and Roll system - never own the property just write up a skinny contract of sale and flip you contract using the auction method of seller.

You want 30 to 100% equity unless you want very skinny deals or short sales.

Pretty skinny spread especially for a low end C property.  

So I'm feeling very drawn towards investing into a 100 unit apartment building in Indianapolis, IN. It's such a big step, but i know it will pay off with great success! Do you have any tips or tricks to help me with t...

Then listen to ALL of the Bigger Pockets podcast (won't take that long if you listen in 2Xspeed on iPod 10X style).
