Usually, this is pretty typical to have the lender finance the majority and the seller finance a portion with the investor coming out of pocket with somewhat of a down payment in commercial real estate. 

I am just getting started in real estate investing and have not bought my first property yet.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,My name is Seth, and I'm excited to join this amazing group of real estate enthusiasts and professionals.

Would love to hear the experiences of other people if having received any grant funding for acquiring and or rehabilitating real estate property, and how you were able to do that.Best

Purchase price averages at about 75-110k around 15k in rehab and an ARV of 120k++ depending on location, size, level of rehab etc. etc.

Welcome to the exciting world of real estate investing!

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

They will come to you the longer you're in real estate :D 

@Roman M. you're saying a community bank won't loan against a note secured by real estate?

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
