Depends on the number of units.

10,20,30 units likely local bank. Larger properties you go into commercial lenders. They both underwrite borrower a little differently.

Revers question would be how much capital (cash) do you have to invest today??

Typical down is 25% with some instances of lender allowing a seller carryback of 10% for putting 15% down.
