In your shoes I would either do more flips to raise funds, or find some new local apartment investors and offer to help with financials in exchange for being a part of the project.

You have a unique number for each rep, and the form on the website has a hidden field that identifies which rep (I recommend Gravity Forms for this.)Sounds like a solid idea if you're giving birddogs unique pages (maybe even put their picture on that landing page for continuity).

Hi Andrew,Things do get tough around that level.Many HMLs will have loan minimums ranging from 50k-100k.Local HMLs are probably your best bet, if not some local private individual lenders.Probably the best way to meet each type of lender is attending some local REIA evens.There, you should be able to meet some HML reps and individual private lenders.Best,Michael
