Multifamily Deal Financing

Francesco G.

Thinking about putting an offer on a multifamily deal without using my own cash.  Would hold and rent the property.  What are some of the financing options I could utilize or is putting 25% down and getting a traditional mortgage my only option?  I currently own another similar property with a mortgage and positive cash flow for the last six years.  Open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

You cannot use an SBA loan on a multifamily property. They are for O/O properties where the owner will use more than 51% of the gross rentable space.
