@Courtney Radmall can you share the name of the cleaning company?

Berkadia, CBRE, Cushman all have capital markets teams that can help with loan products of this size.  

Yes, as an investor, you can request an extension with HUD, though approval isn’t guaranteed.

You may run into issues trying to take a HELOC out on an investment property, and even if you can I doubt you'd want to use it for a down payment for a primary because the rates are much higher.What kind of cash flow would you be generating from your multi once you move out?

I only listed it at that amount because $2460 is the most I can ask for in rent w/section8. 

I agree with you 100%: "it can be logical for a property owner to enter into a deal with an MTR operator.

The hard money route is good, and that is something that I would for sure try to see what the best numbers from the lenders you can get right now.

I found them on groupon, where you can find a bunch of other courses < $300.
