Upcoming Duplex Deal!

[Account Closed]

I own half of a duplex that has been rented for the past 5 years. I now have the owner on the other side of the duplex interested in selling to me, which means I will own the whole building. I'm not going to lie, I'm very excited! The owner still has a mortgage on the property, so seller financing is a very risky option. what are some other options I could use to leverage financing for this, besides a conventional mortgage?

If I get this deal, I'm going to document the entire deal and transformation of the property here on BiggerPockets. I think it's very important to share info on deals (pay-it-foward).
