You'll have more money for down payments as you make rank and progress through your career, especially if you remain disciplined with your finances. 

I'm also buying near downtown and trying to be in the way of progress.

I'll post another picture tomorrow of my progress.

This is really fairly standard when it comes to regulators, we saw a similar progression in crowdfunding until things became clearer.

I will let you know how this progresses but definitely a slippery move.thanks again.

I have over 30 leads so far as Sellers (they have abandoned and fore-close/pre fore-close properties) and I started about 5 days ago so I feel I am progressing nice.

Great looking deal and work in progress!

and most important do not pay for more than the work they have completed..so no deposit, progress payments that are reasonable and the last 10% or so after everything is done. 

I already have a well diversified managed stock portfolio and I am looking some passive investment options which will yield a steady cash flow 10 years down the line when everything is paid off.

Even ones that advertise that they'll lend 90-95% LTC (loan-to-cost) will want to see that you have enough funds to cover the down payment, points, closing costs, 3-6 months of interest payments, and funds to front the rehab (since their rehab loan is given to you in disbursements as the rehab progresses).
