Loan size generally needs to be 5MM+ but there are small balance programs for CMBS, Life, & Fannie/Freddie down to 1-2MM.  

I think it's also important to show you're not a slumlord and you're trying to make this a safe place for somebody to call home.Keeping the goal of these programs in mind can be helpful.

Little Haiti/Little River is on the city of Miami's Neighborhood Development Zone (NDZ) list as part of the Capital Improvement Program/5 year plan.

Some of those programs are best for owner-occupants... crowdfunding is an option to fund your mfr.

I don't want to implement a RUBS program for such a small building, I think I am going to give Guardian  try, I sent them an email to get the conversation started, thank you @Lucas Bennett

I am going to the Buying Summit in Las Vegas next week with the Yancey Program. 

again, and again, and again.From looking at government programs, I could become an O/O for 3-5% down, depending on if I do an FHA or Homepath loan. 

In most cases there are stringent requirements and tax issues for withdrawals but they offer a loan program with pretty reasonable interest and terms.

BP is great and another alternative if you dont mind spending $40 go to office depot or staples and by the program.

We also feel into real estate through my first job out of my graduate program working form a commerical/apartment company as the owners executive assistant and buying/renovating a foreclosure that we turend into a rental.
