You’re spot on, you can potentially use a 3.5% down FHA loan for new financing if income and rents from the other three units are sufficient.

You will be be responsible for the transfer taxes equal to the assessed value, plus deed preparation fees and if there is already a loan, that adds another layer of complexity.

I will add we took out a loan to buy the home for 20k along with extra cash to put into our home to make a "home office" out of the attached garage we never used except for storage so we added even more value to our 156k purchase.

I have a odd question,  70+ unit property 6mill left on note 5.50 30yr amortized   assuable 3 yr i/o remain BP calculator, Cash flow is positive cap x 1.5mill in Improvemennts in the last year with 20 units for value add improvements where do I go to get approved or a deal or a foot in the door? 

Pro- Hard Money lenders who can only lend to a business will lend to a new LLC, but you will still be personally guaranteeing the loan.  

I really need help refining these ideas into something that is workable, and of course none of this is workable if we can't get a DSCR loan, which she's worried about.Between dealing with the symptoms of the stroke, trying to apply for workers comp and medical retirement, worrying about her sick time running out, and worrying about how she's going to replace her income she really can't deal with this, and I'm pretty stressed too.

The intent is torefinance them once I am done with the rehabs and I want to stay clear of theseasoning restrictions often seen on conventional loans.

As well as moving from higher cap ex exposure to lower cap ex exposure.Cash flow may go down but when the other components of the IRR go up ( appreciation, depreciation, and amortization of the loan) your IRR goes to the moon and more than offsets any drop in cash flowJust make sure you stress test and can withstand any drop in cash flow.

Here are a few ideas:- HELOC: depending on how much equity you have in your property, you may be able to apply for and borrow against that equity- DSCR: BP now has a find a lender link and I'm happy to recommend mine as well if you'd like; there are lenders who do loans based on the future rental value of the property- Borrow from your 401k: typically you're able to borrow up to $50k and if you have multiple 401ks, borrow from multiplesHopefully this gives you some ideas of other options to bring in some cash for your investment!

I'd prefer the bulkhead as it has more functionality, but not sure if that would satisfy code to make it a "legal" bedroom.I am hoping to refinance the property after I make the improvements to get my money back out, but that would definitely require the additional bed and bath to meet code and be considered legal.If anyone has the answers here, could point me in the right direction of where to find them, or just has any advice in general, I'd really appreciate the help!
