Buyer with 5% down for investment 3plex

[Charlie MacPherson]

I'm a Realtor just south of Boston and have a client who has identified a 3 pled that looks attractive.  He will not owner occupy so lenders are requiring 20% down.  He has 5% and is looking for alternative financing. I've advised him to find a portfolio lender, but I'm not optimistic.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
