@Julian Green How many private lenders have you asked so far? 

Entirely green but willing to learn!!

While you are in Bowling Green, you should look into the student housing market. 

I'm extremely green when it comes to real estate investment and I'm at the stage where I'm just trying to learn as much as possible. 

The first page includes three sections: (A) Project Overview with  3-4 sentences describing where it is in Philadelphia, the current property condition, the target renovation, a note about high-end or rental-grade and any features (we go green - so split mini ducts, tankless hot water heaters, etc), and the financials: (i) Acquisition cost, (ii) renovation cost, (iii) ARV estimate.

So I am basically green to real estate investing.  

My background is in green and energy efficient building projects.

Good Luck and hopefully the small college town is my alma mater of Bowling Green!

But with the employer match and automatic monthly purchase, dollars to donuts that one is probably the biggest kid in your portfolio class in a decade or two...Contrast real estate--it can give you real green money you can fold and put in your pocket every month at all stages of life.

The pipes in the crawlspace ( look like corroded green copper or upgrade to PEX?).
