Advice on getting funding for off market duplex
Need advice please
I found a off market duplex I would love to purchase. Property is in a very desirable suburb in central NJ -excellent school district - lots of potential for value add -both units occupied month to month with 60 day vacate notice needed. *We would like to live in one of the units asap
Seller wants $330k and their willing to sell it with low interest seller finance with 53k down.
We own a beautiful duplex worth about $330k (we owe around $225k) it cash flows after expenses $1200 pm
We also own a fully remodeled SFH worth about $115k (we owe 65k) it cash flows after expenses $550 pm ( both owned in my personal name)
>Now here is my tough situation :: 1 year ago I left home with my wife in our self built Sprinter camper van to travel the whole country, just got back a little over a week ago. At that time I quit my excellent paying job as a BMW technician, and my wife put her real estate agent career into referral mode. We don't have jobs yet as we just got back but will very very soon.
I don't have enough for the down payment and I don't have any long term work history now . My credit is 753
Can I get some type of loan against the property or use the equity in it?
Possibly a private money lender? if I did find one, what type of structure could I expect?
I will be selling the camper van soon and getting a large chuck of cash from it but it will not happen fast enough to snag this deal before its gone.
any advice or ideas are appreciated, Thanks

Best bet with these circumstances would be a DSCR (debt service coverage loan). Do not need to show any personal income, just based off of the income the property in question would bring. I personally just used a DSCR loan on a Duplex in FL with around 20-30% down.
