Carry on!!

Of course, certain years carry some red flags with them (lead, asbestos, etc), but as long as you know what to look for and where to look for it, not an issue at all. :)

We were able to negotiate a small seller carry to help with the downpayment.

You might find an owner willing to carry back a 2nd mortgage for some or all of the down payment.

Purchase price 275K - seller is carrying 55K and the rest is financed through 2 of my private lenders and I will bring some cash also.

The interest carry will eat your profits fast especially if you struggle to get the project done and sold quickly.The best way to get started in REI is by wholesaling.

I would explore all available options with a creative loan officer before you accept no as an answer.If it's a no and you have no other options then take the other paths such as an owner carry etc. you asked about above.Just my 2 cents after 20 years in real estate in Arizona.
