I also have a valuable property that will go commercial out of that deal but its a 10 yr play. 

@Jacob Sampson Thank you for sharing, I'm playing with your system on the stack of Multi's in front of me.

Just play with the numbers to find an interest rate, length of loan, and purchase price that would work for you and the seller.
