This will be a pain I your side forever.

I've been completely obsessed, consuming content all day long.

I really did enjoy working construction management, the experience and knowledge gained from so many different commercial projects can't be beat, but the job was very consuming.

I reached out to a few GCs that are either too busy (either don't call back or take forever to call back), or are not experienced enough to navigate the job smoothly.

Because they have a real estate license, they are usually held to a higher standard than a consumer, so they will not be able to claim igorance of real estate laws and regulations.

They wouldn’t be the first scam tag team in this arena .That said here is an agency to file a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/they are oversight for any licensed lender.If your “ lender “ was not licensed CFPB would advise you of alternative routes to take.

I have no experience in real estate and I do not see myself working for other people forever.

If your intent is to have a legitimate transaction, then a contract protects both the consumer and the contractor.Most good contractors would be weary of a customer who refused to sign a contract for a medium to large sized job.

A few years ago I had 3 cars paid off (don’t generally like or carry any consumer debt), so I did cashout loans on them and sourced about $50K cash on them at like 3-4%.  

Few years ago I started feeling there is a need to earn more to support our growing needs perhaps with a second job but that would take away my personal time with my family .I got inspired with my previous landlord who was house hacking with a multifamily, started researching BP and started devouring every resource that came my way and took a big leap of faith and invested in my first multifamily without getting stuck in an analysis paralysis mode upon analysing few deals.While I do like the passive income aspect of a multifamily, I am feeling it's more than second job as it consumes me so much more emotionally and taking me away from my family and I sometimes start feeling if I introduced a new problem to solve an existing problem with this multi-family investment.I am generally a warmly friendly person but ever since I bought my first multi-family and started renting I feel like I have turned somewhat cold.
