SFH as well as 2, 3, and 4-plexes are considered residential for financing purposes while properties that have 5 or more units are generally handled by the commercial department of your favorite bank.Many lenders won't touch a rehab project - you'll have to check with smaller local banks to gauge their interest in such a deal.Without putting down 20-25% you will most likely have to get creative with the financing to pick this up.Is owner financing a possibility?

However there's a few ways to get the rest with creative financing isn't there?

As you may expect, finding these deals requires a little bit more creativity than it did 3 years ago.

Love trying to figure out creative ways to buy more. 

So for my first post after years of lurking I am looking for creative ways to make this work.  

What are some creative options I have?

LolAnd I can tell you with 100% certainty that there are cases where WB lost 100% of his investment, becasue I worked at that company at the time and I was in corporate finance...

Are there any creative financing strategies for this that I could use?

But my question is that we are concerned this will seriously detract from potential renters and I was looking to see if anyone had dealt with something similar or had any creative solutions to the problem.

Pick a very specific target segment and market creatively !
