The property would have to be described better for a more detailed response. 

This is a marathon not a sprint, if you give up because you can't get "funding on multiple properties" you won't even buy one which will give you the experience that will make you a more attractive person to lend to in the future.

I like the idea of partnering with a more experienced investor on a larger multi fam but I'm unsure where to start that process. 

Does anyone know of a more “creative” way to access the cash that we need, quickly?

It's close to a few beaches, so rent could probably be a little more, which would help to make the price of the home back quicker, thus allowing pure cashflow quicker.. but I'm not sure if, overall, this would be a good investment.Maybe try to make a pros/cons list with everything you can think of, just starting out, then if you're able to view the property, make a more detailed observation. 

Does anyone have any input into a more or less common month to start leases - specifically in Lincoln if you’re local.Thank,Tom

But just looking for a more niched club for MF.

From a syndicators point of view this is not only a more difficult way to raise a significant amount of capital, but it is much more restrictive in how it can be accomplished if done in compliance with Reg D.

@Kyle Neff having the three friends under one lease will result in a more passive income stream.

Move that money to a more business-friendly state.Your return on equity would be terrible. $450 per month on a quarter million in equity is a 2% return on equity.
