Other then that you could do a typical refinance but I think you may have to wait for the house to season a little to be appraised for a higher value after you made a few repairs.  

Does anyone have a good link or can explain the basics of "seasoning"?

We are planning on syndicating it however my lenders are telling me that the down payment monies must be seasoned for at least 2 months.

If I understand the last part of sentence two, once that note has 6-12 months of payments or seasoning, its a candidate to be sold to an investor, though they will not pay par or full price, unless its California; the price will be discounted based on the above, and the yield the buyer desires.Online click buy?

I know the answer will vary based on risk tolerance but would like to hear what some more seasoned investor's believe is wise.

My thought is to find a property in need of some work, use a hard money loan to purchase and rehab, then refinance into a conventional loan once it has seasoned. 

I'm looking forward to meeting some BP key players to learn and work with : ) 

Some lenders would want to see anything from 10 to 25% down payments, but generally, it doesn't matter where it comes from, so long as it is seasoned.  

The tech industry is booming like crazy with Amazon, Microsoft and other players.  

Ideally, I'd like to work with a seasoned investor.
