Quote from @Erik Estrada:

Closing in a week on a 6 unit definitely is not possible unless it's a private lender using their 401k or HELOC to lend to you.

If you are looking to close with a bridge loan and the appraisal is completed, you might be looking at a 14-21 day close. You should be okay with the legal non-conforming use as long as you have documentation to support it on a normal DSCR loan. I don't think the lender may have backed out for that reason, so there needs to be more to this story.

The issue you may have is finding a long term lender that will be okay with deferred maintenance on a long term loan, the purchase price being significantly lower than the appraised value may raise some questions as well (is this a non-arms length transaction?). Can you get the seller to complete the deferred maintenance and increase the sales price? 

Also are you requesting 55% of $680k? You may run into roadblocks with many lenders since most will want to see a $500k minimum loan amount on 5+ unit deals (there are some that can go down to $250k, but the terms will not be the best). 

Erik, 
Great advice here - thanks! 

Seller is aging and downsizing his portfolio. This is an arms length deal. I have all of the zoning confirmation documentation, seller and I have completed small deferred maintenance repairs that showed up in the inspection and appraisal. If there is more to the story, I’m not sure what it is. 

Interesting feedback on the commercial LTV preferences. I didn't realize the $500k preferred min. I was thinking my low LTV would translate to low risk for them since I have more skin in the game.

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $180,000
Cash invested: $120,000

Our first BRRRR was a quadplex outside of Atlanta. Bought for $180k in 2023, dumped ~$120k into the rehab (about double what we initially estimated), and raised rents from $525/unit to $1200/unit. The property appraised for $465k and we cashed out $348k to pay back our PML and use the rest as a down payment toward the next deal, a 6-unit we have UC.

Now it has long-term tenants in all four units that cashflow about $700/month. Learned a lot and caught the BRRRR bug!


Congrats - is the 6-unit turnkey or another BRRRR?

 6-unit will be a turnkey property. @Robin Simon actually we need some support in financing you may be interested in. See my other post:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/1196510-any-creative-lenders-for-6-unit-high-dscr-property-fast-close-needed?highlight_post=6800074&page=1

Hi Jeremy, 

There are lenders that have an excellent 5-8 unit DSCR product but the LTV is based off the lower of the appraised value or purchase price.

How much are you looking to put down based on 680k sales price?


 Hey Joseph, we are looking to put between 40% - 50% down on the $680k, but are somewhat flexible.

Great small multifamily investment opportunity!

I am UC on a 6-unit property in the Atlanta metro area with great value and metrics, but I am having trouble finding financing for the deal due to it being classified as a legal non-conforming use by zoning. It was grandfathered into the current zoning code. We have already completed the inspection and appraisal, both of which have come back clean. We are closing on June 28th. The lender we were working with initially said they could do legal non-conforming uses, but now have backed down from that. We are looking for a 30-year DSCR product at 55% LTV, but open to other creative financing terms to come up with half the purchase price.

Here are the details:

  • Property: 6-units (mix of 2/1 and 1/1's) – configured as 1 SFR, 1 duplex, and 1 triplex on 0.47 acres
  • Condition: Older structures but significant renovations to SFR and duplex in last 3 years. Triplex is fair quality with some deferred maintenance, but livable. Recent exterior spot repairs.
  • Purchase Price: $680K
  • Rent Roll: ~$6,200 per month, all units rented with long-term tenants and multi-year active leases.
  • Appraisal: $850K
  • LTV% Requested: 55%
  • Zoning: Located in an overlay district zoned for 12 attached DU per acre.

Are there any creative lenders who are willing to lend on a legal non-conforming use and can close in a week? Please send me a private message and I can share more details.  

Offering Memorandum and Appraisal Available Upon Request!

Hi all, 

I am an urban planner turned investor and have been in the REI game for about 4 years now. Living in Atlanta, GA and investing in southeast. Excited to connect with the community and learn some things! I am always open to potential deals or partners who want to get into small multifamily development with a long-term goal of commercial investing.
