If you have done many deals with some creative way to finance the deal or sub to, and if you have strong exp and tons of success to win over a competing MLS deal. 

If you already have a few deals, it would make more sense to play defensively and not to overleverage

I am working on a 7 family and a 9 family deal, but all of my local lending contacts for commercial loans are quoting me between 7.5% and 8%. 

If so, we can connect, compare note, talk about strategies, look over each other's deals, etc.

i've done several BRRRRs, including one that just 'failed,' so i sold it as an accidental flip, and here's the deal. 

Read up, tune into talks, and watch online classes about different methods in investing, deal checks, finance options, and taking care of property.

Reading, learning, and contributing to the forums.The podcasts are great but I usually skip the episodes that don't apply to my market, or when guests get start talking about overly leveraged deals. 

Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio.

Any solutions on how to structure a deal like this?

You don't need to make all your money on your first deal.
