You'll likely need a zoning variance from the city and that's hit-or-miss on whether it'll be granted or not.

They are are controlled by the rents, which granted are sky rocketing right now.Honestly, I'd say go ahead for 0% down if you can keep going. 

Granted it's a chicken before the egg type deal on getting financing for ground-up w/o having ground-up experience.Is your GC willing to be a guarantor on the loan or take an ownership % so that his experience could be looked at?

Granted it is only a condo, I am getting good cash flow for a first property and being clueless.Fast forward to now. 

Also check with some lenders I just did a 10% investment loan with @Grant Schroeder from academy.

A line of credit comes with more flexibility where you pay interest only on what you borrow, granted at a variable rate.

Remember, it doesn't need to be Grant Cardone!

No way this building was 80 units of dentists, doctors, optometrists, etc for this town.Would check on any Section 8 Housing grants and zoning. 

"In 2004, a Joint Statement of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice, stated that charging an extra fee or requiring an additional deposit from a disabled tenant as a condition of granting a reasonable accommodation violates the Fair Housing Act.

In Seattle, where I am, the landlord must first submit an application to the City to be granted the right to terminate tenancy.
