The minimum down with conventional financing for an investment property SFR is 15% and MFR is 25%.
FHA is a great way to go if you haven't used it already..... But would be owner occupied.
@Michael Morin FHA house hacking is a great way to start....... But you can only get one FHA mortgage unless you have extenuating circumstances. Your only option would be to refinance with a conventional mortgage as an investment property as long as you have the equity in the property to do this. Then you can get another FHA owner occupied every year if you this route of refinancing.
@Max T. the 5% down for conventional is for a primary SFR only.
is absolutely correct. Underwriting will figure it out pretty quick. Don't commit fraud. How are you going to prove you are going to live in a house that is 8 hours from your job ...... That they are using to verify your employment and your ability to repay the loan?

Always tag me... I don't mind at all. Conventional lenders you can get up to ten mortgages. Some portfolio lenders will go higher.
For a single property you can have several loans. Primary and Secondary mortgages, HELOC, Home Improvement loan - can all be taken out on an individual property.

No it is not new. Most lenders will only go up to 4. There are only a few lenders that will go up to 10 with conventional financing.

Unfortunately we can't lend to an LLC - only an individual's name. Are they interested in Quit claiming the deed back into their own name?

If you have the time and effort to put into rehabbing and increasing the value, doing a cash out refinance based on ARV is a great way to keep money in your pocket for more investments.
Here is some info from my blog on cash out refinancing. You can go this route with up to four mortgages than you are subject to the delayed financing exception.

Do you plan on owner occupying the property? I saw you wrote down FHA as an option and that is only for owner occupying investors.
Conventional will require 25% down if you have four or less mortgages.
Here is some information from my blog on conventional financing.

Starting out with an FHA multi-family is a great way to get started! You can put. just 3.5% down and ask the seller to pay up to 6% towards your closing costs!
