Low capital isn't a death wish but ultimately you're going to need some kind of capital (you're own or someone else's) to get things going. 

After all, if the property turns out not to need the work, the rehabbed makes more money.

If you want 30 year fixed I think you are going to need to go with conventional financing and have to wait 6 months.

But I think most are going to need 25% down.

You're going to need to know this to truly be able to provide a value/service to people.

You're going to need 30k to 40k to do it.

When we gave the tenant notice that he was going to need to temporary  relocate during the capital improvements by us, he decided this was his get rich moment, he got hooked up with an outfit named the Tenderloin Housing Clinic and within 7 business days sued us for $ 500,000 for wrongful eviction. 

Focus on the tone of the letter being sympathetic.Set property expectations of move-out time and condition of the property, but do so after you have reviewed their lease as that is your guiding agreement with them at this time.

These days you're going to need a down payment.

I'm still going to reflect on my tone and think of ways to improve, but I think it was mainly they have zero appetite for REI companiesTo some degree, the loan officers were not just trying to tell me they did not want to lend.
