Private placements can grow your funds rather than just preserving them.

Developing for a business instead of a house has more steps for funding, building, and then leasing.

You can set occupancy limit's and a person is an occupant no matter what age.Your occupancy limit per size apartment must be consistent and not exceed city code standards.I like quite buildings my units are desirable enough that a single occupant can still afford a 1 br. and I limit my 2br units to 2 people.. 

In my case it was a combination of my own capital and private funds that helped me get started.  

Yes Jane, you can roll over your retirement funds into Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401k and use it for real estate investing.

Since you are, they have no right to the property but you will do everything you can to "help them" recover their funds from the scammer.

I bought a foreclosure in Florissant with a 203k loan aka an FHA construction loan where you only have to put 3.5% down and they will fund the renovation as long as it's done by a licensed contractor.  

@Andrew Postell at least in NC, if the borrower gives constructive de facto notice at time of origination, via a deed accepted by the underwriter and funding is permitted to proceed (there is NC COB precedence), then there is no default and the bank cannot "call" the note. 

If so I would think treating it like any other real estate sale, complete a correct contract, after you have determined the ARV, rent rates, and if your offer works for you and the other party.In regards to funding, there are most likely options (sorry I know very little on this subject) and this would also be a first step, once you determine that the property will actually work.

Hello,I am curious as to how I can get the funding to rehab a multi family house that Iwant to buy outright.
