Ed, The deal fell through on the land we were going to purchase. 

Hi All,I have been purchasing residential real estate for a few years and want to go for bigger deals so am just starting to look at commercial real estate.

I find is so much joy when I find my clients great deals.

I am not in a position to use the investment property as my primary residence to house hack so I realize that the interest rates will be less favorable.Has anyone made a deal work using a HELOC as a down payment for a buy and hold property?

You could try selling as a seller financed deal..20%+ down to cover RE costs and balance to seller..He would hold a private note for 2-3+ years and be taxed on the income.

Purchase price: $204,000,000 Cash invested: $60,000,000I worked for a Hong Kong public company & high-end luxury residential developer and helped to develop a $204 million condo project called "The Graystone" which is in Seattle's First Hill District.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Waived inspection because I'm super smart (sarcasm) but closed the deal and have a 3 Unit 4100 Square foot home for $330,000 conventional financing with 25% down.

That gives you time to find/buy/create good deals.

I am a real estate agent and investor based in Columbus, Ohio but also have done deals and investments in Cincinnati so I'm familiar with the market.
