I spoke to a  real estate agent friend and they said that I will need the social security number of the previous owner to sell or list the real estate that I got at the sale.

FHS has a grant to be able to help with pet rent deposits if we can find something for him.

@Greg Grant reporting $5600 rent roll, but units have water damage and mold ...Is the property vacant or occupied?

For him it was "but what if i don't my grant next year" type of motivation.

Also, I am not aware of any hard money lenders taking second lien positions, perhaps you can secure a personal line of credit or partner with another investor. 

Update:  I shopped around a lot, and was able to secure 4.00% when my regular lender was robbing me at 4.37%. 

Looks to me that the city doesn't/didn't grant access to parking at the homes off the main street, thus taking possession of the road in the rear of the homes granting parking and ingress/regress for each home owner.

the way im structuring things is everything is tied into a security deposit.

@Horacio Gutierrez Like some mentioned, using Venmo is a very popular and secure way for people to transfer money instantly on their phones.

I've watched countless videos on YouTube with Grant Cardone and many other big time real estate investors but I'm still in that stage where I feel like I don't quite know enough to approach my first deal confidently.
