I 1031ed a home that I purchased in college into this 5 plex. My plan is to add value to the property and get a freddie mac small balance loan once I've increased the NOI by implementing rubs and raising rents.
I need to get the property value up to 1.33m so that I can get a 1m loan at 75% ltv so I need to figure out how to do this. Wish me luck!

How did you finance this deal?
credit union, it was a nightmare
I had a lot of difficulties getting a loan on this property since the loan is less than 1m.
How did you add value to the deal?
Upon purchase, I immediately sent RUBS notices and raised rents to all 5 units the maximum that was allowed by the city of Portland. Once these increases go into effect the property value will increase by (5 units x $100/m of utilities and 5 units x $95/m of rent increases which amounts to a $11,750 NOI increase) roughly $250,000 at a 4.5% cap rate.
What was the outcome?
it's pending
Lessons learned? Challenges?
going with an unknown lender is always a bad idea... I should have used the guys I knew would close the deal.
