I recently had a infill lot under contract to purchase so I can build a 2 family house.

I would think of this problem differently: I might encourage them to explore ADUs... this would give them an additional stream of income and would likely only require a relatively small chunk of money in their savings (relative to the total cost).If they could partner with someone that has experience building and/or flipping (to qualify for the construction loan), then cash them out with a 30-yr DSCR loan (and use that as the builder's profit), then they could rent the property and enjoy the cash-flow.

If you can find some common ground, continue building on that to establish rapport.

If you buy a $20M apartment building, it should have it's own LLC.

Example: Fred gives Andy a construction loan and builds a house.

@JD Martin-half (1 triplex) are all cash, owe like 59k on other triplex, both buildings are over 100 years old and still standing.

C+ to B+ buildings with value add potential. 

I reached out to several lenders about financing this project for the cost and renovation, I was either met with they only go up to 6 units, or the building has to  be occupied,  or that I was too in experience and I needed to put a license builder on the note with me.

Residents are fighting new industrial developments thereby raising the value of existing industrial buildings.
