Thanks @Jay Hurst I looked into them and they appear to not offer services in Kansas, which is where we are needing support.

How/when do both lenders get paid back in full?

I bought a triplex where the Seller (not a foreclosure) was lazy and didn't want to put in hot water heaters even thought he got full price offers.

Having a 24 month term on the front end will also make my job easier doing the take-out loan when it's time to refinance into permanent debt, because there's room in there for a full year of tax returns to have been done in the middle (if your exit plan is to sell, it'll also make it easier on your buyer who will presumably be willing to pay a higher price if they can get an A-paper good mortgage).Ask for a 24 month term, tell your contractor you want it done in a year (and make it financially worth their while if they can pull it off), internally/mentally plan on 18 months, and I'm putting you on notice now to do your tax returns on time, rather than extending them (don't fight me on this, please just do it).Trying to get a renovation mortgage like this for only 1 point is likely a waste of your time, but if you want to ask, after you've secured the above as a 'done deal,' go for it, can't hurt. 

Of note, this is not my full time income, as I do have a full time W-2 job. 

do they then offer a  large  HELOC for the  full amount  ?   

We have never paid our construction company for services.

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.

Like an acquisition manager done for you service.

They don't appear to employ real people in their customer service dept and I don't have the patience for Bots.....2.
