Then I would get the bank to loan you the down (800k) on a first lien plus another 100k. all in you would owe 1.7 and walk away with 100k cash to get right into it and fix it up.

If the loan amount is less than 500k, there is a lot less lenders that can do these types of loans compared to 1-4 or 10+ units and rates tends to be higher.

These specific loans allow me to assume/get her off the deed and the loan without a refinance (it's an amazing loan through Mountain America Credit Union) The CG is calculated into the appraised value. 

Most 5+ unit programs have loan mins starting around 500k. 

It’s a big decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly…because you are right- it’s going to take time, effort and money (by way of loans/debt) to get that MD/DO.

The only reason I am hesitating is that the loan officer wanted to run a hard credit pull even to send me a term sheet which was really strange.

I'm what people might describe as a "jack of all trades, master of none" (although at this point, due to my current career, I have a fairly deep understanding of interest theory, loan amortization, assessing risk, and certain other financial topics).

Jerry, multi-families small balance loans mainly and financing that makes sense below 7% with longer terms as we buy and hold. 

Do you know if the loan is backed by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac?

You'll have to put down 20-25%Getting the vehicle off your DTI will definitely help, see if your family member's credit is good enough for them to refi you off the loan.
