It's always a good idea to speak with a financial advisor or real estate professional to get a better understanding of your options

I feel I could continue leveraging content here on BP and other reputable sources for coaching without giving up this much in profit.

Is that what you were told or have you verified that with independent sources.

Im working with the agent on this and I gave two options to propose and she came back with the option where there is no free build out phase. 

Looking for a bit of insight as to my options on financing. 

I know this is most individuals’ issue and understand that there are other creative financing options, but I find myself stuck in an infinite loop of needing funds to invest so that I can raise more funds to invest.

@Francis Faucher most of our Canadian clients set up an LLC, which I beleive offers better tax options than a C-Corp.

Are there no other options?

If the rent is deposited into your account then you have accepted payment.I use apartments.com and zillow to handle payments - they allow you to block payments.This won't help you this time but in the future your lease should specify how they are allowed to pay rent, specify payment options that give you control over the payment.

The lot is 3x the size of the other option and the home has very high potential for value add.
