Understanding 25% Down on Investment Property
Hi Everyone. I'm a newbie in training. I'm actively pursuing a multi family (Duplex) which I will Not be living in. I was told that in order to purchase this investment property, I need a 25% down payment, as opposed to 20%. In all of the webinars I've seen Brandon of BP calculate using only 20%. Is this determined by the state or lender? I'd love to know how to pursue only doing a 20%. I know CA and IN both require 25% down.
Thank you.
Joe

Here it is straight from Fannie Mae, page 2, 3rd box down: https://www.fanniemae.com/content/eligibility_info...
25% down unless you're going to house hack.
