Chicago area 0% down financing
I have been talking to various lenders in Chicagoland area and most of them look for 20 - 25% down on the investment property and even worst 65% commercial, 70% to value for refinance options.
I was wondering if anyone has any success getting creative with the finance or even doing the 0% down.

I know of a lender that will provide 100% down but it cannot be in the city & it would be a short term 5 month loan. I wasn't sure about them @ 1st, but they actually closed on a loan a couple of months ago w/ us. I'll send you a PM w/ the name.
