What where your short comings and how did you better yourself?

Some times sit on them or lease short term until market is ready to take profit. 

Ideally I’m seeking short term debt with the plan of refi’ing them out after 6 months to a year.

I uncovered a multitude of issues (mainly cosmetic) but I have a couple of big ticket maintenance issues remaining - a slab drain leak (not supply) which was recently discovered and the home appears to need slight leveling (door jambs tight, small gap on brick outside). 

Long story short they were/are interested in selling it.

If it’s a short term rental use a company called Proper (or similar).

Long story short the house is in bad shape, insurance hit me below the belt, and I can't sell this place until it's repaired.

(bold is from me to draw attention to that specific line) I will send login information via email shortly. 

@Mark DeLorenzo you could always go with a short term bridge type lender.

I understand I could reach out to potential syndicators but I would prefer to do some initial research on my own early on, fully educate myself on pros/cons, potential returns, narrow down potential sponsors and then reach out to a short list to vet before starting deals.
