I've had this situation before and it can work out well when you and the tenant agree to a payment plan, especially when the funds can come out of their account automatically.  

The company is a 1 man guy who subbed some of the work out to a big environmental company, unsure of what exactly.

I do not plan to rent by the roomYea as someone who works from home I am a fan of there at least being a desk to work out which i plan to have.

Everything work out?

My suggestion is to use your own cash to do your first couple make sure you work out the kinks then you can leverage with private money HML or find that unicorn sub to deal.

PM me and I can connect you with a great lender that would be happy to work out a deal with you.

I met a future business partner at a live auction although it didn't work out.

If things don't work out with them we'd love to help fund your deal.

If you focus on that first, the cost of construction will work out.

It flipped the market from a seller's market (offering $30k over asking to get your offer looked at) to more of a buyer's market where we can now negotiate with sellers, work out seller financing, or get deals under market value.
