Happy to send over some referrals - some are better for big rehabs vs small cosmetic vs subcontractor only projects.

I had an investor that did this with small strip malls in PHX when PHX crashed in 08 .. came out very well on the other end. !!!

The seller offered financing with 20% down, which I used to buy the place.After starting construction and realizing it was going to cost more than expected, I approached a small local bank that knew the property and would offer the rehab financing. 

Sounds like you don't have the cash but you may have the time to do research and get crafty with a small team.

You should be able to take out a small loan using the property as collateral.

I am in the same boat of either 1031 exchange or refi some of my small multi's to purchase a larger complex.

This will be an excellent home for a starter home, small family, long-term rental, and definitely a really cute AirBnB.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

Small multifamily is a good asset class. 

I was looking to get some advice on the best way to finance a small mixed-use property?
