Commercial Financing, repair funding vs down payment

Hey BP world!  This is my First post here!! I'm new to the community of investors, but not new to real estate.  

Current project I'm working on: purchase of a 4-unit, multi-building property.  Conventional won't touch it, but I already have contacts with some local and private banks that can fund it.  Open to new contacts if they have what I need, but that's not why I'm posting.

Specifically, I'd like to leave as little in this deal as possible (BRRRR), hopefully less than $50K. But it needs a larger down because of the commercial loan, and about 96K in repairs. None of this scares me, just trying to find some lending strategy:

Deal (simple math):

Purchase Price:              800,000

Lender financing: 600,000 (75% LTV)

Seller Note:                    120,000

Buyer Down:                    80,000

Buyer Repairs:                 96,000

ARV (5.5% cap): 1,100,000

Is there any way I can include the 96,000 as part of the loan balance or count it as the down payment, effectively financing 75% of the repair costs and increasing the loan amount.  I'll be correcting a few things on the property (septic/sewer, subdivision), so that I can refinance into conventional loans within a year or two.

Very familiar with overall loan qual etc., just not super fresh on the cash out/repair budget under a commercial loan.  Am I overthinking this?  Should I just swallow the repair budget until I can refinance?  I have a few other projects in the works that I want the funds for.

Thoughts?
