The main condition was I had to have the downpayment (20%) first, close the deal, and then execute the owner financed 2nd mortgage. 

Or a $1 Ribeye steak at Albertsons, then you tip the cashier.

Does anyone know of any banks or lenders that will finance the purchase of commercial real estate notes?  

In the event that a seller was to owner finance a property to a buyer without a SSN, is there a market for the Note to be sold to a note buyer?

Quote from @Hector Romero: Hello all, I am new to the community as well as being the lead in real estate investments.My sister and I currently hold 3 properties next to each other in Riverside County, California (we'd like to get them in an LLC but we're unsure how that may affect financing them).

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Two of the houses are financed at 4.25% interest for 10 years then variable for 20 years. 

Two separate property appraisers (at the direction of the lender) were sent out to appraise, and neither was willing to appraise it as a "residence", and thus financing fell through (conventional primary loan).
