The hardest let about getting the funding is not being able to match any of the private lending or having the funds to put down a down payment on  a cheap mortgage. 

If you do not have the required "Gap Funds" to satisfy the HMLs requirement - this is where you will need to "pitch" your property to other private lenders or "Gap Funders" on this site, or by networking with other investors outside of BiggerPockets. 

You could live outside of a nice district and go the private route, but those schools are well into the tens of thousands of dollars per year.  

Interested in connecting with lenders as well as private investors who might be interested in partnering with me on some of my projects.
