I am considering funding the purchase with HML and then the rehab costs with a personal loan (~13% interest rate, no money down). 

It has a small mixed-use component that works with FHA funding. 

I've heard things like tax debt, remarriage, and sadly a senior couple who could no longer live alone.part of that Is the wet closings you do we do dry closings.. we sign anywhere from 1 week to a few days before the actual recording of the deeds.. then funds are dispersed the next day.. no one gets checks on the spot like you guys do.. 

After all, a low pot is coming from Canada who has the best manufacturing and growers and this would screw Mexico's drug cartels (if those walls ever get built).Issues that operators face Politics aforementionedDifficult to get lending - some banks have an outright banIt's the wild wild west - similar to the Crowdfunding sites where companies are jockeying for dominance to be the eBay or Amazon of the spaceWays to Invest In Cannabis Repurposed industrial space to store inventory as well as growing CannabisBuy the ETF like MJGive an unsecured loan or invest in a Fund that funds operatorsInvest in a syndication/private placement

The Buyer turns his/her funds in to the same TC.

My contractor has been working on my property and it came time to for an inspection with 212 Loans to make a draw for funds.

We do a walk through within hours of closing and do a hold-back of funds to cure any defects like trash out or eviction.If the parties agree that the seller can stay for a period of time, we execute a "use and occupancy" agreement that details the per diem cost, utilities, insurance, etc. 

The only problem is that I don’t know the blocks to well, I have an interesting vacant property lead on North Bond street that’s already been demoed inside.

Also, look for incentive programs from the city, county and state, that will give you some free/cheap money to do the renovations (possibly the Opportunity Fund)

Some HMLs will allow you to take a personal loan to fund it.
