. :)- I have no idea what would appear if you literally had a perfect credit score.

@David MutchWe have done a handful of flips in the area and would love to connect over coffiee or lunch some time to share ideas! 

With his info and expertise in home repairs He's currently studying for his contractors license (I have no idea what that entails so I can not answer questions on that), I see a future.

@Rahiem Bush I think it's a great idea.  

I'm looking into my first potential investment, I'm looking for any ideas of possible ways to get the capital the list price $550,000 on four units, current rental income $3595/month the property is in good shape has two long term tenants and the other two unit are occupied and I'm currently looking into financing but I don't think I'm going to be able to get a conventional loan any ideas on other possible ways to get the funds that perhaps others have used or know of I'm brand new to all this and I'm still learning a lot.Thank you in advance

Any ideas?

If you don't already, you need to have a spreadsheet where you can quickly plug all those variables in and have a good idea of your potential ROI. 

I like @Michele Fischer's idea of talking to the tenant about the value adds that you plan on doing. 

a business plan sample or template I did not know there is such a thing - maybe some of these ideas will help with you form a template for investing in multifamily units....know how much money you can put your hands on todaycreate a credit line ( as big as you can - you'll need it!)

to give me an initial idea of what we're dealing with.I have a hunch that the damage will be more than the FMV of the house...I have to believe this is $50k+ worth of damage by the time you factor smoke and water damage, plus electrical and structural components.
