First of all, you really need to call someone rather than entering a forum... so many specifics are needed to properly answer your question, it's hard for anyone here to properly advise you.. typically, you wont find any lender out there willing to take a 2nd lien of a commercial project if the loan to value is so high.. 70% first, and 30% 2nd netting a 100% loan to value.. this will never happen.. You can apply for a SBA loan, but typically you will need a minimum of 10% down or more, depending on the project and it's specifics.. It's also possible that if the seller is willing to do a 30% to40% 2nd, then you can get a first lien commercial loan for the rest, but most commercial lenders will not allow you to enter a project without any experience and without any "skin" in the game ($$$$)..

You will need a business loan. Try a local bank, but be sure to have your business plan together.
You're effectively looking for 100% financing between the owner and the 30%. I doubt any main stream lender will agree to loan you 30% if you are also getting a note from the seller for the majority of the financing. You will likely need either a partner with cash to invest or possibly a hard money lender. Seems like this will be difficult to put together if you don't have the 30% of your own ... Good luck!
