A couple of our quick HUD strategies:  First, make them an offer that you would be thrilled with, but isnt entirely too low.  

The place has a lot of dated 1980s-late '90's decor color choices, but it's still adorable with a great garden, so my excellent tenants were thrilled to get it.To be clear, that market is not this market.

@Frank Capaldi as @Michael Ealy recommended, private money can be a good option in this situation.Many times, if people you know have an old IRA you can help them set up a self-directed IRA and make you a loan secured by the property, to refinance out the hard money lender at much lower rates.They may be thrilled to get a 6-10% return secured by real estate and backed by someone they know, while you may be thrilled not to be paying 14-16% interest.If the hard money rates are killing you, it can be a good interim/stopgap solution to give you some breathing room until you can fit into the bank/credit union box again.

We're in a very competitive CT market and I am sure paid a bit too much but we are thrilled to get started and learn from every mistake on this one.

I’d be thrilled to get all of that work done for 10k per unit.
