You could bring in a money partner to stabilize but getting something is better than losing it and getting nothing.You could also look at selling to a land holder or a developer for cash to tear it down and rebuild something better.You can also approach your bank and explain your repair situation and see if they will help with the repairs to protect from a default and huge loss.Some small banks will do this sometimes.To the big banks for the most part you are just a number and a loan that has to be worked through.A HML loan will eat you up and I don't recommend that.A regular lender will not touch a property like that.

Not a good option for you.I think you might approach friends and family who are looking for long term returns at better rates than they are getting in their CD's.You can amortize over 20-30 years, but set it up with a balloon in 5, so that by then you might be able to get conventional commercial financing.

At the meeting, an owner brought up the fact that some were simply providing a photo to the lifeguard for his file at the start of the season, including photos of kids' friends, relatives, etc., who don't live there, when the standing rule is it must be submitted through the association management (to ensure actual owner or tenant photo), then association should submit it to lifeguard.

The key is to get a high LTV which is possible through a few approaches I learned.The reason I like this idea is because I calculated that each deal (good deal) I do with a credit partner will bring the account about 800/month and cost us 400/month for debt.
