To me it would be a red flag of other potential problems.

I've been approached by several potential clients, but have been unsuccessful finding a lender who does it.

New electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, floors, kitchens, baths, the list could go on forever!  

The flipping is definitely getting a bit tighter in the "Seattle" neighborhood, but there is still some potential both North and South.  

Hello All,So, I have just come across a property which has great potential for a fix and flip.  

Then if you end up negative you can potentially use this towards the $25,000 write off.I am giving you general advice as I don't know your tax situation.

The potential gross income for this property for this property is $2990/mo if all four units were occupied in accordance to the current rent amounts.

Short of crowdfunding does anyone have any suggestions on how I can approach potential investors about helping me come up with this down payment ?

I knew it had potential and for the last 3 months, we've renovated it from the bottom to the top.

You're not going to cashflow on a water front property and you may have issues with seasonality and/or demand in a very tourist-driven area.If you have an idea of where you'd like to invest and what the numbers might look like, a good way to test the waters is to put an ad on craigslist showing a potential property with the rent you'd expect to get and see what kind of interest it gets.For my rentals in Louisville, over the past 6 years I've had anywhere from 2-3 emails a week to 30+ emails per day depending on the location, rental rate and time of year.
