We have bond for deed or traditional owner financing.

We both agree that we would like to use an electronic platform to help service the loan.

Our real-estate agent informed us that we can't get traditional financing for the property because of its condition so we are trying to figure out how we can get financing through another means such as a hard money loan.

@Reggie Rearden - traditional banks can be a major pain. 

Most people looking for SF homes are going to be owner-occupants and they'll stick with what they know, which is traditional financing.   

I plan on buying a unit and selling it to someone who has trouble getting a traditional loan by providing owner financing.  

This platform has been so helpful and encouraging but I have yet to get plugged in.

@Greg Scott So I'm trained in Express Offers, which is eXp Realty's iBuyer platform. 

In addition, buyers will no longer be able to borrow the down payment from 'non-traditional sources.'

If you're asking about the possibility to obtain a loan for a home that needs renovation, I am not certain but you could do a traditional loan and then refinance post renovation after the seasoning period.
