24-Unit Purchase / Construction Deal Help

[Bryan Schmidt]

I need help on the lending side for this potential deal...

I am negotiating a purchase agreement with a seller carryback of 20-30% as a second-lien position.  Approximate purchase price of $650-$850k with a construction budget of $1.0-$1.5m depending on total unit count.  Total cost including acquisition price of $2.35m.

I believe we will be able to create a total of 20-30 units in this building.  It is a 24,000sf structure with the ability to add an additional 6,000sf of interior space through a currently unused portion of the building.  Total square footage could work out to about 30,000 when all is said and done.

If I am able to negotiate a contract with the seller to carryback the 20-30%, what kind of financing options would we have.  I would like to have zero dollars out of pocket except for soft costs.  Is this possible?  If so, with who?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Bryan,

It's very rare that you would be able to put down 0% on these deals as lenders like to see that you have some skin in the game (worth giving a try though). I do know of 0% down programs but only limited to 1-4 units. There's programs that allow seller carry backs (for example up to 90% CLTV).

 Let me know when you can talk - I have some questions.
