I think it depends what you are looking for and what else you are investing in. 1) Turnkey - If you are investing in TK crowdfunding can be an alternative.

It's been listed for 20 days and i need to consider alternative ways to find my buyer other than MLS and my realtor.

Truthfully, It may take more than one treatment to rid the place of them.

I have found that alternating types of books have helped. 

Also following from what you wrote... so the tax treatment of the lender profit = interest is the same whether the lender pays interest monthly or only one time at the end of the project?

I do have an alternative site (below)...

Then try to identify sufficient problems to retain as much of the security deposit as possible.There is an alternative - IF the current tenant could prove consistent rent payments, regardless of their credit, I might actually try to get them sign a new lease - at a slightly increased rent, PLUS a security deposit.

Alternatively, you can get the seller to do a seller carry/seller finance for 10% and put down the 10% that would solve the 20% issue.

ERGO banks cannot afford a loss.. if they take a default it kills them.. they have to off set your bad loan and put money aside etc etc.so yes two sides of the coin.and I fully understand how us as borrowers just think in our minds its a no brainer etc etc.ALL commercial loans of that size have those types of guarantee's its industry standards and common knowledge.. so now its known to you as well.what was the alternative..

I can't answer that for you, but the alternative of increasing rents by that amount and don't "haggle" with a tenant over a fairly minor (3%) rent increase.
