I have hit a road-block with financing and was wondering what strategies the BP community has to overcome this obstacle?

If not, reduce price to overcome it.

On the flipside, I'm sure the experts are tired of hearing of beginners looking for help but not following through or staying committed.My thought to overcome this dilemma is to start analyzing deals (using bigger pockets software or an excel template) and ask an experienced (hopefully local) investor to check the inputs and assumptions and explain how/why they would tweak the model. 

These properties do not cater to national tenants like a Starbucks or Panera. 3) when an apartment comes vacant, you can get it rented in 2-3 weeks, but if a commercial space would come open, it could take 6 months or a year to find the right tenant for the space and involve capital concessions on your end to get a tenant in. 4) for the reasons cited above, the commercial income would need to be a decent amount higher to overcome the increased vacant risk and re rental risk than just a life apartment building. 5) Retail is just riskier in general for the reasons stated above plus you then add in that your retail tenant is probably not the strongest credit risk.6) mixed use is harder to finance.

If credit of all partners are an issue that can be overcome.

This one had a few issues to overcome, but thankfully the sellers worked with us on getting to the finish line.

@Robert Laird Congrats on overcoming the challenges and creating a successful flip. 

My biggest challenge has been financing for the next deal sue to house hacking and having several different leases no lender will count the income currently working to overcome that hurdle.

I see I have a heaving learning curve to over come. 

It's hard to overcome a bad buy and you don't know how long it will remain underwater and what maintenance was never completed because they didn't have the money to do any of it.
