Just throwing numbers out there from a previous find, but there are a ton of places you can borrower the money from without needing to show personal income that would allow your savings to really stretch, and maximize your passive-income potential.

As I am able to self fund my office space without bank assistance, what should my focus be in finding a space?

you DONT pay tax's when you borrow money.. you pay tax's when you sell  ( that is if you make a profit)

Someone assists them in that.

As long as the borrower is a majority member/owner of the LLC, and the payments are being made, the lender isn't usually concerned...they want their money.Where you could run into a problem is if the borrower leaves the LLC. 

I talked to the heirs after the mom passed and negotiated a deal to buy it for $40k, then spent $72k renovating (with credit cards and borrowed money), then sold for $224,900 three months later.

Hello All, Can someone please recommend a bank that they worked with that can finance new construction development for single family homes on subdivided lots. Thank you 

I would be more than happy to provide any additional assistance you need, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! 

As I think I have a way of using private money lenders, to loan me the deposit to buy an owner occupied duplex, on pretty favourable terms but I'm unsure how to structure the rest of the financing and I'm just looking for some clarity.I believe I can borrow around 20% of the total to get a solid deposit down and then my question is, do I then go to the bank on top of that for loan for the mortgage?

If your borrowing money then you should be evaluating the deal based on levered IRR.
