Alternatively it's possible to get a conventional loan on a house where the seller is asking 100k or less, and you're putting down 20-25% (which would be a down payment of less than 30k).

Alternately, the broker could use what is called "designated agency."

An alternative might be to cut down the part that's raised up.

Not all investments will work out and unless you're comfortable leveraging your primary residence, you might want to look at some alternative ways for raising capital.

My Goals are to buy at least 10 units this upcoming 2013.Right now, I have two deals under contract and two more that I would like to bid on them, but I'm kind of stuck because even though I have very good credit, banks are still very conservative, hard money lenders makes more of the transactions unprofitable, and I would like to know what kind of private funding alternatives might I have in Florida to continue actively pursuing my goals.Your feedback on this will be very valuable to me.Regards,Alex

I'm not a Loan Broker but I can give you my perspective as an investor that is always looking for financing alternatives to fund my deals.

As a seller, you would probably be lower than that because you're getting something else out of the deal (a quick sale at a relatively high price.)There are alternatives to straight owner financing.

Indeed, however as mentioned in my other feed was looking for other alternatives in case owner financing didnt work out, Thanks

Private money can be a good alternative when you approach people that you know and do know you.

This would take them to the 83% LTV point.I am looking at this like an alternative to a CD for them.
