Starting out tho, and in general, I'd still say go for it...that's how I got started; I bought a condo package and lived in 1 unit for awhile.

I’m trying to find the vendors who offer cash then conventional loan package for the sellers who value cash offers higher than conventional.

VA loans backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs even allow veteran borrowers to obtain 100% financing on a home.According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), before shopping for a mortgage a borrowers should:Check their credit reportAssess how their spending habits will change with a mortgageBudget for additional or changed expensesDetermine how much of a down payment is neededDecide on a purchase price of a homeCreate a loan application package with personal and financial information including pay stubs, W-2 forms, copies of recent tax returns, bank statements, and proof of identity2.

Equity funds would be leaping in like kids in a candy store, Syndication the new "guru package" on everyone's lips, books galore on "how you too can become rich via investing in commercial REO's". 

Before you start down any of these routes, determine your financial package limits. 

Or they need to sell jointly as a total package. 

Are you looking to buy large multi family packages in Chicago/Illinois?

Simple as it may seem, check out your cities website for forms and checklists that detail what they are looking for in their permitting process and submittal packages.  

This only works within Snohomish county, however.For just a small percentage of source lands, if you know what to look for, the value of the package of land and now-portable development credits just became a lot higher than the listed asking price. 

Factors such as owning a package of properties with equity or having a high personal net worth make it more enticing.
