Connecting with them directly will help you get a better sense of voucher amounts, inspection standards, and timelines.

I applied for a HELOC and when they ran the title it came up that the 8k grant is actually a second "soft" lien against my property that will go away after 5 years which prevents this bank from allowing me to have a HELOC.

Seller financing can be a fantastic way to get into a 4+ unit property, especially in a competitive market like Chicago.Have you started reaching out to owners directly or networking with agents who specialize in multifamily properties?

@Sachin Amin Reach out to me directly.

That’s the kind of agent you want in your corner, especially in a competitive market like San Antonio.While I haven’t worked with him directly, I’ve spoken with an investor friend who did.

@Collin Luckett what your touching on for changing of buyer during pending is not a viable direction. 

For now, staying local allows me to leverage my property management experience—most of which came from working directly for family and close business associates who were property managers, contractors, and business owners.

Once the city gives direction, then start to look at available options and penciling out the numbers to see what makes the most sense.  

I personally think this is the direction booking sites need to go.

The OP asked a direct question.
