No court entries on the case file on Judiciary Case Search since September.The property is not in particularly bad condition. 

Then go get commercial or portfolio financing on these from either a local community bank, or credit union or a specialized Non-QM lender that loan to the entity on a longer term, but with higher rates?

If you can get the small multi-family, I'd consider starting out with a conventional mortgage at 5% (when I bought my place, that was the minimum for a conventional non-FHA loan, which gave me a much better interest rate than an FHA - since I had the capital, that was a better option for me).

A "negative cash flow" investment (that you'd likely be getting downtown) does not necessarily mean "bad", and a "positive cash flow" does not necessarily mean "good".Each property needs to be looked at on its own merits (and compared to similar sales nearby).Many hundreds of threads here on BP only give the specifics for a particular property, but with no mention at all about what other surrounding similar properties sold for.But Arthur, you won't do that, right?

In your case your best option is probably non conventional mortgage, aka private lender or some other source Good luck !
