Tax value is $56k and owners estimate value of $99k. I'd say that is pretty spot on considering the price comp apartments in the area are selling/asking for. I plan to negotiate the price lower once I prove I have the means to purchase since they told me they are having a hard time finding someone with $40k for the first installment. My search of hard money lenders operating in that state (Kentucky) yielded no results in terms of lenders who would accept a secondary lien or finance something in this method.
I think if I could secure financing this could be turned into a good deal. This property is one of the first to be rehabbed in an area I think will grow in the future.

Hi BP,
I have found a fairly good opportunity and turnkey rental being sold by landlords looking to retire. The only problem is I am having trouble financing it. The overall cost is $75k and it is bringing in $1550 monthly. The owners want $40k up front and then will finance two other payments at 5% for the next two years.
I would pay the $40k myself but my money is currently tied up in another deal. I don't think most hard money lenders will want a piece of this since the owners will still hold a lien. Does anyone have any ideas?
