The point being you never know what will pop up and being ready with a HELOC in place is a good idea in my opinion.

Hi,Listening to some of the podcasts and reading the blog, I keep feeling this inner red flag that keeps popping up in me.  

I would suggest researching 10-15 banks and credit unions in your area (just google "multifamily lending in X area" and see who pops up) and talk to them.

You can google them and they will pop up

@Scott EwellCan't believe this just popped up.

They said if can get those, they would be very flexible with any other terms for the remainder of equity.Current roadblocks:However, PITI=~4300 >LTR=~3500 and entry would be high at 15-20% so likely the best exit for this would be to buy creatively, and hold until find a wrap buyer, which I am not familiar with how to quickly find.Other two best alternatives = quick pop and top flip by finishing basement + very light cosmetic rehab/upgrade OR MTR as within 15 min drive to 2 of the biggest hospitals and Atlanta GA, and close to the famous East Lake Gold club which is part of the tour.If you are familiar with structuring hybrid deals, wraps, and/or Atlanta GA markets, please reach out.

I am an Akron realtor/investor that self manages but have out of town investors and want to be sure not to recommend this person to them.If you are ever in a pinch or need someone to pop by one of your properties let me know and I can try to help out.

This was just the first thought that popped into my head and I wanted to pursue it until something better came up or it was not possible. 

Maybe some onesy twosy mom and pop investor but no one is going to sell you volume if you are a onesy twosy mom and pop note buyer.

By having more tenants there are more eyes to watch for issues that may pop up, more people paying rent, and if you have one of the units vacant for a bit, it will not hurt the bank as bad as it would if you only have two tenants in the building and one of them left.
