The issue that we’re having is not having the funds to get the property repaired.

Tenant is responsible for care, repairs, and maintenance. 

If my investor is flipping the property I always make sure I include the resale costs in order to have a more accurate bottom line number.We also always add 5k to 10k for misc repairs just in case. 

The only way you can be that 'daring' is if you REALLY know your market, repair costs, ARV, financing and closing procedures.

Are they really able to get an actual timeline & budget for a large repair?

If your property ever has a maintenance issue you can rest assured he will get it repaired at cost.Give him a call and interview him tell him angelou told you to call.

Full repair list? 

My next question is if I do find a 4-plex owner willing to do seller financing but the property needs to be repaired, how could I get the the funds to repair the property without coming out of pocket?
