HML's will potentially fund both but they're going to want you to have some skin in the game or some serious equity. 

Are the deals on MLS drying up?

A handwritten note is nice but a knock on the door is even better if you have thick skin.

If you are new, I would recommend a KW or Remax or Real Estate One brokerage...the splits and fees can be higher than an independent, but the training and services will help you until your wings are dry and you can fly on your own.

I was thinking of maybe hard money lenders with an end split to have more of my "skin" in deal.  

You don't want the pretty blue house you want the ugly house that has no paint and has no dry wall.

If, for instance, the well only pumps 2-3 gallons per minute, sharing that well might not be your best choice anyway (well run dry).  

I also was planing on doing a lot of work myself, until I realized I did not have time and the building would slowly bleed me dry prior to me getting anything completed, no matter how much money it saved me.

They will want you to have some skin in the game, per se.  

Hi Jesse,Unfortunately you really need to get some skin into the game in order to fund a multi family building.
