Looking for financing help in order to buy and hold apartments

Member since 2018 · 7 posts · 1 vote

I am looking for help.  I would like to purchase 10 unit apartment buildings.  I am hoping to purchase it with less than 20% down.  I have my eye on a property already, but I am nervous about putting the 20% all into one deal.  Does anyone have a recommendation for me.

@Demetrius Charles you could Joint Venture on two properties with another partner and each put 10% down on two separate investments. This way you diversify your risk a little.

    Can you ask the seller to carry back a second mortgage?

    What is the concern with Leveraging 80% and having 20% shin in the game?

    @Demetrius Charles if you are not confident enough in the deal to put 20% its going to be hard to convince a lender to give you money. 10 units is usually going to be a 80%LTV on most lending unless you find private money.

    @Demetrius Charles without more information it is hard to give you a good answer. Are you looking for a financial solution or emotional one to help you address the fear?

    The reason why I am concerned about the 20% is because I do not want to slow down my flipping business.  Currently that will be a fairly strong capital drain on that business.  If I remove to much of that capital it will slow down the potential to flip and create capital for other buy and holds.  I feel like this is a typical problem with this process, and I am looking for another way.  200k investment on a single structure would be fine, but that doesn't leave me a lot of room left to continue to do flips to create the same liquid capital and buy the next building.  Also, 10 unit building I am looking at is just over 1 million in purchase price.
