Tips on Securing a loan for Multi-family / Apartment building

[James Atkinson]

Hello, I'm looking for advice on securing a loan for a multi-family property. I have great credit and a reasonable cash reserve, but not quite enough for 20-25 percent down so I will need to mix in some creative financing options such as a second position mortgage or partial seller financing.

Outside of good credit and a detailed project summary on the property, what can I do to build credibility with a lender and secure more favorable terms on a loan? 

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
