potential 2 fam. deal with exit strag.

[Chris Masons]

Hey guys,

I have a deal I am working on here in NJ. 2 family that was rehabbed, investor looking to sell fairly cheap (before winter sets in) not a steal but slightly below FMV.

What attracts me to it is it's location and I already have a tenant ( a great tenant) willing to move in and rent from me for 4 to 5 years and then purchase the property for ~ 35k more then I am paying for it. I just need to fill a small 1 bedroom on 2nd floor which shouldn't be a problem.

Cashflow during the meantime won't be great but will be roughly around ~ 400 to 500 . This is a very small all brick 2 family so the 50% rule may not even apply here. New boiler, new roof, newer windows and I will replace water heater.

Property is a 2 family total rent roll is 1500 and 800 so 2300 total. Taxes are 6800.00

My big hangup is coming up with 25% down as I am governed by the fannie mae stricter guidelines as I have 5 properties. I will be out of pocket around 60k which I am not happy about but thihs property fits my profile of properties that I like to invest in.

any thoughts on how I can be creative and not be so out of pocket on this?

as always thx in advance,
Chris
