Outside of raising money from others or seller financing, I am looking to see if there are private or other lending options that could cover 10-20% of a downpayment on these loans with a shorter loan term of say 5 years.

Quote from @Victor Correa: Have a deal, subject to mobile home with bank lien, Not payed off, Seller just bought 2 years ago & I am taking over but reading about the title transfer need consent from lien holder.

The seller did not want to pay realtor commissions.  

Even the bigger people on here couldn't swing that or would have to Syndicate out which is another animal. 

While you may not see hockey stick type appreciation like you do in some other areas you also don’t have the big downward swings either.

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

I email the sellers agent all the info , and she emails back that the deck isnt up to todays code .       

Good luck- shoot me an IM if you'd like more info on my process..a little bit of background research and some phone calls can make your sq' price swing back a lot. 

Either way its good to buy end of year as most builders and sellers are offering seller credits or builder credits to use towards closing costs or to buy a rate down to help get a lower payment.Even if you wanted to buy a strater home like a 2-4 unit as a primary again you only need to put 5% down. 

I’m trying to make sure my business appears legitimate and trustworthy to local sellers, but I also want to avoid violating Google’s guidelines and risk having the account suspended.Would love to hear from anyone who’s faced this issue or has creative ideas for solving it!
