Buying a 2 family in long island NY

To any multi property investors,

I am trying to buy my 1st two family investment property in Long island New York. But there are some major hurtles to over come.

I have recently received  an inheritance from my parents passing. A descent some of money.

My bank will only do a 15 year loan at 5.50% rate with 25% down on a two family home.

Are there other banks out there with better rates and long terms. 

Because when I run the numbers on a $400000 home my ROI is only 8% and that is with putting down 100000 cash or more.

I know there are some variables to getting a property cheap by not in this area. 

Also I preferred not to invest out of state. I did it once and lost a large some of money. 

Any Ideas work be much appreciated.

Thanks Steve

    @Steven Lopez are you going to live in it?  

    I'd call around to more local banks.  Sterling National should do it, and maybe First National Bank of LI.  Past that you should call all the local banks.  Ridgewood, Flushing, Emigrant, etc.  If those don't work, I can recommend a Mortgage Broker who should be able to get it done.

    Good Luck!

    @Steven Lopez 

    I'm sorry for your loss. I would definitely suggest to talk to other Banks and Mortgage Brokers to see if you can get a 30 year Loan. There are also great programs out there for First Time Home Buyers if this is your first purchase.

    Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any advice. 

    Thanks Andrew

    I was going to say that you should consider investing out of state but I see you mentioned that you had a bad experience.  If you ever re-consider definitely keep in touch.  My experience has been that your money can get a lot further through out of state multi-family investments.

    Thanks for all the advice. I will start calling other banks. I did have a meeting with two financial advisors. I tried explaining that I want to open a self directed IRA. So that I could invest in real estate. They didn't think it was a good idea Saying real estate in today market is to risky. I don't agree. I think they prefer for me to keep all my money with them. Does anyone know of some good IRA out there.

    Thanks for all the support
