My work around was to find a 75 year old dude with no credit and no assets, who wanted a new truck.

The good payment history transfers to their credit profile. 

Credit cards - store specific, general business expenses, etc.Any POV you have on what has worked for you would be great!

We were able to get a home equity line of credit, so if we wanted to, we could essentially put no money down and use the income from the property to pay this and the mortgage off.

They have utilized a number of financing approaches including: Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Tax Credits, Conventional, Grants through Duluth Economic Development Authority (DEDA), Duluth Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Assistance.Sharon Brown with Duluth's Life Safety office is a great resource as well when dealing with blighted properties.

@Johnny McKeon I think I would need to know more about your deal specifics - If I were working with you, I'd want to know what is your credit?

A line of credit is a great way to be ready to get the next property.

Our debt include only our primary, the duplex, and credit card $3,175.91+$7,317.49+$2,000=$12,493.

Now I'm on to the next step: covering the tax bill from my side gig, saving, and repairing my credit.

Will having that home on our credit negate us from being able to seek additional loans for other properties?
