I dont know them specifically but generally most programs like this are based on an upsell to a more expensive program. 

Hi Frank,There are programs out there that have much less prepayment penalty.

By limiting your exposure to banks and credit unions, you're leaving significant amounts of money on the table, along with superior terms (IE - 30 year amortization, partial-full term IO, non-recourse structure, etc.)Below are summaries of the Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan (SBL) and Fannie Mae Small Loan multifamily loan programs.

New VT state program called VHIP.

How do I find out which lenders offer that program?

Getting a HELOC without a full appraisal can be tricky, but there are a few ways it might be possible, especially if you’ve added significant value to your property.Showing Recent Home Improvements : Providing documentation of recent home improvements and their costs might convince a lender to waive the full appraisal.High Equity : If you have a significant amount of equity in your home, lenders might be more flexible with appraisal requirements.Streamlined HELOC Programs : Some lenders offer streamlined or fast-track HELOC programs that don't require a full appraisal.

I would look for programs like NACA 

Appointments take at least a week, then several days for them to analyze their coverage, then you go into a queue for one of their required contractors - all while the tenant is without heat, water, etc.The sewer & water line program offered by the DWSD can be useful if you haven't already replaced those lines. 

A Bank statement program would do wonders, 10% down minimum is industry standard, if you have a solid credit score,15% down will get you really good terms, however you still need to qualify DTI wise.Best of luck!

I don't have as many tips for solutions mid rehab, but I do know that most, if not all, of the very active investors that I know have established relationships with 2 or 3 lenders that specialize in programs that match their strategy and have an agent or two in the investors target market to help them find more deals without having to put much work into finding them.
