Company Win: We gain access to ~$250,000 as a private capital investment. 

If your able to get conventional financing (by that I mean 'Bank' financing, not private or HML) then my opinion is to sell the condo and buy at least a duplex so you have housing that's partially being paid for via rent collected from the other side.

About 2 days later I get a call asking if I would be willing to pay about $2K more as the seller didn't want to pay it and do some private deal he had with the realtor. 

However, I have invested in few stocks and other vehicle and am very interested now in Real Estate investigating. 

You can try doing owner financing or bringing in a private lender.

If the property has some good equity and I would like to take over, how would go about in that without having to get hard money, private money and/or home loan?

They do have a section for private lenders that I will explore.

Please Private message or email me so we can discuses this privately.

Most private deals will require 20% of the purchase price and fund 80% of the rehab so let's call your loan amount $84,000 x 12%/12 = $840 monthly.

There is education available through the Associations and private training from guru's like Mike Ferry.You must weigh whether you want to work hard then give your commissions away, or.... self-educate.As a contractor, it's all about how much you personally bring home, so look at commission percentages and monthly/annual fees from Brokerages before you place your license.
