Hi,
Any feedback would be appreciated.
I’m trying to purchase 8 multi-family homes with 50 units. They are being sold as a package. Two of the homes are zoned commercial, and one of the commercial homes is mixed use.
I expect the appraisal to be around $1,560,000. The owner is willing to accept $1,300,000. The owner is also willing to take a small second, 5%. I can probably come up with 5% via credit cards, loan on 401K, and line of credit.
The properties have all been renovated in the last 10 years. Income is about $260,000, expenses are running around $65,000. Rents are below market as increases have only occured when the units turn over. I plan on managing the properties myself.
Any thoughts on where to go for financing? I thought about brining in investors but don’t really know anyone with that sort of cash. Banks typically want 10% down. Help.
