Grew up in Michigan and now live in Colorado Springs, buying two houses in Kalamazoo Michigan. The houses are on one parcel and would have to be rezoned which would take longer than allowed for the purchase. My numbers were solid with 24% ConC return and now I need some help finding a company to give a loan. I can't do a regular loan since it's more than 4 units on one parcel. Does anyone have connections to get a loan? I'm putting 25% down and don't have any other rentals. Since I live and work out of the state I have been unable to get local banks in MI or CO to help. My bank here could do it if the lot was split but I can't get that done right now. I have a pretty strong credit score and cash reserves to help get a loan. My current bank already approved me for the purchase but can't help on this one (maybe down the road after the purchase and split of the parcel).
Purchase price $175,000 which is currently fully rented at $2985. If I do a commercial loan at a higher rate and shorter-term I still see this as a good investment. Currently waiting to hear back if Rocket Mortgage is able to do this but only left a message for them to get back to me with the details I have them.
If anyone has connections to get a loan or have advice, I'm all ears.

I鈥檓 so sorry I am from MI but I don鈥檛 have connections. But I will warn you not to wait on quicken loans. They will be the MOST STRICT and likely worst option for this deal. They are v cookie cutter and straight and narrow on their parameters. They want retail. Stoked for you and all the best!!

I don鈥檛 have a specific bank lead for you, but have you tried calling local credit unions? I鈥檝e worked with Lake Michigan Credit Union with good success, but it was a relatively straightforward mortgage loan. Good luck!

@Josh Bloomquist the issues we have ran into with local credit unions are they won't lend out of state people who invest or have business out of state.
