@Hernan Guelman, I don't recommend raising your deposit percentage just so you can massage the figures into showing a (small) positive cash flow return.

Yeah no short term loans for STNL unless you are putting 50% or more down or a lease at a high cap rate with a few years left before option renewal.Otherwise you get hit with a refi bomb that could make a negative return with a fixed rate lease or one that has minimal increases in the primary term less than annual inflation.People get these short term loans to massage the debt to work at lower cap rates for purchase but they are ticking time bombs.

Do you want and A/B class property with less headaches or C/D class properties that need a lot of massaging?

You don't want to put yourself in a position where the balloon comes due and the capital markets have dried up (i.e; 2009-2011) With most commercial loans, there are 4 items that are commonly negotiated or massaged: the % loan to cost, the interest rate, the amortization rate, and the length of the balloon payment.
