But after looking outside I noticed a security camera pointed toward the street and front of the house.

Again this will be my first attempt at securing a contract an going through the steps needed for my first check!

This is roughly: Phase 1 includes education on house hacking and small multifamily investing, creating a basic network, and saving any extra cash.Phase 2 is my initial searching and closes with a contract, estimates for renovations and completion and revaluation of the property.Phase 3 is the actual year of living at the property while saving cash flow up to then later pick up a second property.Phase 4 is freeing up the original multifamily for full renting, and securing a second property to repeat the process and gain capitalPhase 5 is securing a mid-size multifamily complex either with capital on selling one of the two first properties or with saved up equity. 

My brother and I are trying to figure out a way to secure this property, but we don't have the $50ish thousand to finance it traditionally.

I google everyone, either way, though, and trust that homeland security is on the ball as well (LOL, yeah...) 

Have you thought about partnering with someone to secure a larger (more doors) property? 

I was able to secure my first investment about a year ago now (see post below) and I am currently saving capital for my second investment. 

Neither the other co-owners, nor the sponsor, nor the manager may advance funds to a co-owner to meet expenses associated with the co-ownership interest unless the advance is recourse to the co-owner (and, where the co-owner is a disregarded entity, the owner of the co-owner) and is not for a period exceeding 31 days.The co-owners must share in any indebtedness secured by a blanket lien in proportion to their undivided interests.Distinguishing a Partnership From Co-Owners of Leased PropertyIn the case of property to be purchased by more than one equity investor and subjected to a long-term triple net lease, it may be possible for each equity investor to structure its participation as a purchase and lease of an undivided interest in the property, separate from the other equity investor's transaction, so as to preserve arguments that the equity investors are mere co-owners.

It's 3x the weight of wood.
