I'm looking for tips, rates, and lender recommendations for financing towards a multi-family home. I'm a short-term rental property manager in Upstate New York and a newbie investor with one single family property that's currently being flipped and set up for STR. Currently looking to invest in multi-family and would appreciate any advice for creative financing, partnerships or private lending opportunities.

Hi Madison - welcome to BP, lots of great resources here. When you say multi-family, can you specify how many units (or unit range) you are looking at?
Absolutely! Located in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York - I'm currently looking at a roughly $4,000 sqft property that's zoned as 3 units. 1 bed 1 bath, 1 bed 1 bath, and a 3 bed 3.5 bath, which I would Airbnb because of the layout. The other two units I'd like to lease long-term with the option to possibly shift one of them into an Airbnb in a year or two. All of the properties would be self managed by my business. Based on this concept, my numbers come in above the DSCR, but I would need to utilize creative financing for the downpayment. I'm able to finance $5k and curious about private lending options for the remaining 12%.
I was originally shopping for a duplex or triplex, but I came across the property mentioned above, and it has a ton of potential for multi-use over time.

I appreciate your help!
I think it looks like a solid deal - however, unless you are able to get seller financing or something of the like, its going to be pretty tough to get the deal done with only $5k of your own money down. Might be worth it to try to figure out how to source a bigger downpayment
