I would like to say that you can get an equity partner to help but your deadline is too close for that to go through. 

What assessed value did they use and is there equity above the 1st, Did it get discharged in the BK?   

And you don’t want to pay them off because that decreases your return of equity.

The terms of a commercial loan won't be as favorable as traditional financing.

I primarily/ultimately want to get into multi-family complexes and am unsure as to whether I should aim for some (section 8) SFH in Baltimore City to build up my capital/equity.

We mail Yellow Letters to high equity and long ownership so it is obvious it's an older generation, but in Houston we don't see the same pattern or get that many people to say those things like in SA.

I got a great deal on the home as it is, and with an additional unit the cash-flow would be great and the equity would skyrocket. 

I know you guys need to a lot more info about the property, but as a ball park, what might be a good whole fee or equity percentage for a finders fee.

On the other side we would have more that 2k of additional cash flow and can always go back and refinance our equity if an opportunity arises.

There is currently no loan on the property, I would like to access some equity.
