Advice / Help Needed - Financing a Mixed Use in CT

[Thomas Heger]

I currently have a multi-use property under contract but am having a challenging time finding a lender interested in mixed-use.  The property currently has a retail tenant on a long-term lease and fairly straightforward rehab to add 3 One Bed Apartments.  The property contains additional space for an additional 3 One Beds.  

The current owner is financing the 25% downpayment.  We're looking for the 75% + 50-75k rehab budget, interest only, short-term loan.  We're looking to refi once the first three units are fully occupied.  

Thanks in advance.
