Most 2nd position lenders will want the investor to have skin in the game (invest their own money) AND be paid a double-digit return.When you purchase property, you ALWAYS need to have reserves, but in this scenario, you really need to have reserves since you will need to make 2 large debt payments every month.

Others may have a different opinion, but outside of a seller carry back up to 90% CLTV (still require some skin in the game, unless you go true hard money) 2nd liens on real estate for purchase transactions in the manner you're seeking are very difficult to get a loan against, whether it be a secondary market lender (private equity fund, balance sheet lender, family office, etc), and usually are seeking larger transcations ($1-3MM +) in this space, and are still capped at a max 75-80% CLTV (still wanting skin in the game).# 4 usually requires more explanation as its newer to the market (DM me if interested in discussing these options further), but all 1-4 appear to be potential options for you based on the limited details.
