Money down question

[Dennie Foss]

I have one duplex and am hoping to add a second multifamily with in the next 6 months and I have a question that I have not found an answer for. Where this will be my third property (house + duplex) I will be putting 20-25% down to acquire a 15-30 year fixed loan. Is there an alternative so I can speed up the acquisitions to my portfolio? Is there a role with hard money here and if so, how would it look and play out for me as the property owner? Side note, I am buying to hold my properties. Thanks for your help and thoughts.
