Hey @Chris Grebeldinger,I am going to reach out to a couple of lenders/bankers here who deal with different types of products and let you know what I find.

We buy at a deep discount and usually acquire with a loan product that allows us to roll in construction costs. 

Depending on your relationship with them, that might be feasible, but if you're just picking up someone you don't know personally, you could bring the productiveness of the investment down because you'll both occupy unit(s).Side jobs won't really do much until you are at that side job for a sufficient duration of time - it may be 2-years.

It is easy to say 'just price it right', I know if I lower the price I can move it, but I'm looking for more creative options and productive comments from seasoned investors in this forum on how they would handle this situation.However, I do know that the ARV on the property is 130K and the rents in the area are 1350 per month, so I think it would make sense for a buy and hold investor, but not necessarily a fix and flip investor.

Don't forget, you can always bring someone on the team that has the experience, net worth or liquidity to satisfy those requirements.Best!

Real estate books are a dime a dozen...one book is hard to pick, but don't pass up the E-Myth Revisited...but get the audio book and play at 2x speed...the author sounds like he could die at any moment...still a good read ;) Good luck! 

@Adam L. in the Navy it's E-5, E-4 cannot live off base unless married.

A competitor is charging more money for his product than you are charging for your product.

There might be an agency around that allows a low production agent to hang their license with them but I haven't heard of them.
