Scenario HELP! Financing for 4th investment property

Hello everyone, I've been reading some great questions and answers however can't seem to find any that are pertaining to my situation. Below is a snapshot of my situation - I'm hoping that some of your experiences can help me navigate how to get this deal done. 

  • I currently have 3 investment properties. All three have mortgages, are cashflow positive, and are low maintenance.
  • I have found a multi-use (zone R-2) property that I would like to convert into a triplex. Have already agreed to a sale price that is 43% less ($95,000) than the appraisal value. Ideally, I would need a $50k loan to fix it up, and then refinance it into a 30 year mortgage.
  • I do not have 20 percent to put down to purchase the property.
  • In order to maximize the property's potential and convert it to a triplex, I am estimating a need for $40-50K in rehab expenses. In the interim, I could definitely rent out one floor, and have my primary (I invest on the side) business occupy a space. 
  • I have considered a cash-out refinancing, but the amount of equity that I have in each property would likely require me to combine multiple to come up with enough funds for the 20%. 
  • I've spoken with several hard money lenders (2-3) and it sounds like there are possible options, however the property (as is) would be considered commercial and therefore that complicates their process/qualifications.

Has anyone encountered a situation like this? It is a no-brainer investment for me, but I can't seem to get past the 20% down hurdle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
