Who I did know was my renovation contractor at my own house who agreed to do the work and he's been a constant source of wisdom, information, and support.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thank You for the information!

We will be meeting for lunch next week and I just want to make sure I have all the information needed before sitting down with him.This is actually two 4 unit complexes on the same lot so would this be considered a commercial deal? 

Great information @Brian Burke, thanks.  

I'd appreciate any information or direction to get this thing handled correctly.  

I also know a few wholesalers in Lexington who are very good at what they do - so I can inform you of the competition you face here.  

Again, I don't have enough information

Check with your local/community banks and you should be able to find viable information there as portfolio lenders might be another solid option for you.Happy Investing...

With this information mind you can property inject yourself into the most beneficial part of the lifecycle giving you an upper hand over other bidders.
