So I started trying to get creative on how to create a win-win-win for all.Here’s how it went down:I got the sellers to agree to an asking price of $180k, a full $40k over what they originally wanted.In the offer, we included a seller credit of $34k.This strategy allowed me to cover the extra commission for both the buying and selling agents and ensure the seller got exactly the cash they wanted should they have sold it at 140k.With the seller credit, this reduced my total out-of-pocket expense to just $6k.I used a commercial DSCR loan product with a local bank.

Lastly, I would imagine that with all of the small business ownership involved, there's probably a local bank that already has a UCC filed and is unlikely to play ball with a private lender who's trying to realize their collateral.

You should be able to get all of the information you need through the local housing authority.
