I'm looking to purchase a small apt with hard money and I'm thinking of how to refinance the loan through conventional banks for a lower rate with little income on tax forms.  

Could you get approved for a conventional commercial loan for a small apt property if you only had roughly 20k on your tax returns but have an excellent credit score, $0 debt, real estate owned free and clear, and cash reserves ?

The city is making them pay back taxes from the day they bought the property.
