Should I get STR loan without 20% down if I expect high CF??

Question

I am in a position to buy a larger property that expects a large cash flow 3x loan payment conservatively. I currently only have 10-15% to put down on the loan. Just looking for advice. Should I wait?

10-15% down payment on investment property using conventional financing is probably hard to find or non existent now. Alternative financing or maybe a portfolio lender may be able to offer it but terms may not be as great.

If you are able to buy and live in it for at least a year then convert to a rental then that would be the way to go.

Thanks Paul, that’s what the research is telling me as well. I’ll keep working on that 20 %. Thanks for the info.
