Why I’d Buy a Fourplex Before a 5-Unit Building in New York
Why I’d Buy a Fourplex Before a 5-Unit Building in New York
A fourplex is the biggest residential property you can buy while still qualifying for traditional 1–4 unit residential financing. Once you jump to five units, you’re generally stepping into the commercial lending world with different terms, amortization schedules, and balloon payments. For New York investors looking to build a rental portfolio, understanding that financing cutoff can make a huge difference in how you structure your next acquisition.
