Wanting this money to grow, and possibly create my job potentially.What would you do with $135k?

I also think it's great that our property isn't sitting empty when we're gone and because we own and live on-site, our neighbors also keep an eye out for us.

Built in 1890, this Old Vic...

There may be some equity that I can tap into depending on the DSR however,  I'm looking to see what other funding options are available to cover construction carrying costs that do not require W2?

We are doing custom to semi custom and those things are tough..

Any investors buying those are playing the long game, which most of us should be doing anyway. 

Relationships are invaluable, and, while you can build them from scratch, there's going to be a huge learning curve and likely some expensive lessons.If you're looking to do BRRRR deals you will have the most success paying cash, doing some light renovation, and then refinancing once done.

I suppose it would be best to ask the members of my meet up what they do.

What recourse do I have here?

We are still under construction but we ended up having to do everything including sub flooring, attic, roof, HVAC etc.
