I have a preliminary call in a few minutes with a person that wants to get into private lending and wants to engage our loan consulting side to assist.

But with mixed use your loan options are mostly limited to conventional.

Wondering if anyone has a commercial lender who would know where to find a loan to accomplish my goal...

I am aiming for a home between 150-250k, which i can afford if all hell breaks loose, at a 5% conventional 30 year term loan (unless a lender or someone else can suggest me a better loan) My question is what are the minimum requirements for obtaining such a home (capital wise, credit score wise, salary wise) Who can i specifically talk to for these numbers and help me understand tenant demand, areas, and more specific information about my market?

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

I have the money saved for the rehab but I would apply for a loan to cover the majority of the rehab and use savings for future repairs. 

.* [Soon] Buy a condo with that cash, live on it, and pay the loan interest (as if it was my rent), basically making this an interest-only loan, where I can pay the premium whenever I want, deducting the "rent" as I go. * [6-24 months] Whenever I find a job and qualify for a FHA multifamily, get that property (with break-even cashflow most likely), and rent the condo at a cashflow loss for a couple years until rent increases (due to high-interest on underlying debt)* [Almost immediately afterwards] At this point, do a cash-out refinance on the condo to pay back the SBLOC (unsure if this is possible immediately after getting the multifamily loan), and secure a lower rate for the condo itself.I know this strategy sounds like loser, as it bleeds money all around, but my hypothesis is:* Underlying assets should grow more than 8.15% in a given year, and I would not pay short/long-term taxes on stock.

I'm not sure what area you are looking at but purchasing a lot here in colorado for example you'll have the costs of drilling a well, installing a septic system, running power to your lot, installing a driveway, etc, etc.

My goal: create an interest-free loan which is appealing to a potential homebuyer, yet doesn't make too big of a discount on my end.For example: If I sold my $300,000 house with 20% down ($60,000) over 30 years, at 6.7% interest rate: $1548.67 principal and interest per month1548.67 x 12 x 30 = $557,521.20What I would do would offer a lower monthly payment and no usury, but it would effectively be like a prepayment penalty.Arbitrarily, let's say 20% off the monthly payment, or $309.73 less per month: $1238.94 monthly payment.House would be sold at $446,018.40, which is $111,502.8 less than the total paid with a normal mortgage, but $116,018 more than the market price.

I was hoping for a new loan of around $1.1M thus cashing out with $800k.
