Quote from @Rion Manita: Hello BiggerpocketsI'm working on some deals where buyers are trying to stack owner financing with a bank or private lender, what are some strategies to get these across the finish line and or some solid lenders that operate in these capacities that are flexible. thank youWord of warning - everything must be disclosed to all lenders.  

I've been learning about investing in apartments over the last 5 months and picked up some mentors who invest in different capacities.

Utility capacity in older downtown areas can also add surprise costs.

Then there will be environmental studies , traffic impact studies , school capacity studies . .

What to know: your buy box, true rents from PMs, conservative expenses, and your team’s capacity.

My initial thought is that he should find a way to rent out the property in some capacity since this home is already a secure and familiar asset.

In most deals in which a buyer obtains ownership of a property with a small or no capital investment, they either paid significantly OVER market for the property, obtained ow worship of an asset with a load of potential liability, had a verifiable track record of success in similar deals and as a result was able to raise outside capital and receive a percentage of ownership (promote) for their work, or were actually utilizing personal credit capacity.  

That's where the value lies.Another benefit- Its often the community banks that allow borrowing capacity to outgrow  the borrowers balance sheet with patience and consistent performance.

Confirm financial capacity.

Some of our markets that have historically been closed to the tri-county area are opening up capacity which is encouraging to see.
