After saving for years and being priced out of nearly all of our favorite neighborhoods here in the northeast, we decided to give up the American Dream of being house poor the rest of our lives and get into real estate.

After grad school I anticipate starting salary of 300k+, but will have 200k student loans which will only delay/limit me from starting my real estate investing journey.I have enough saved for up to 15% down payment on a fourplex around 450k, but dont want to go hard money lender/dscr as they are currently in 7-9% range.

He's my friend too so he Venmo's me money.

Minimal cash out-of-pocket, ($800), no banks, no hard money.

You saved me a lot of time!!

If a toilet runs at full pressure, the tenant is going to call you sooner than later from the sheer racket it's making.If you are purely looking for leaks, you will spend significant sums of money to save yourself very little money in the long run. 

is it possible to barrow (hard money) for the down payment im looking at turnkey and would like to purchase 2 at a time.

It's in a part of town that is being revamped from former industrial to nice stores, shops, restaurants, and businesses and I believe there is even some money offered to help revamp that part of town if you purchase something and help improve the area.  

On the other hand, you are risking the money and that's worth a lot.

He actually reached out to me during the GRC when savings yields were .5%  Tougher these days to get private lenders with 5% risk-free money markets available, but you might try Randy Cooper.
