There is a balloon at end of 5, 7 or 10 year. They amortize that at the end of 15, 20, 25 or 30 year. Commercial portfolio loans are sometimes flexible, banks may help you borrow some money from elsewhere for the down payment. Look into local banks and Credit Unions and stay away from Large banks.  

good advice, ill try to chat with a credit union here soon!

What would that down payment look like? I assume 20% because I've already used my first time home buyer 3.5%?

Hello!

I currently have one 4plex that I’ve had for about 14 months.

I have saved up around $50,000 more dollars to use to invest into something else this spring. How should I best use that money to get into some more units?

I have a goal of 10 units by end of 2022. Currently with 4, I hope this is possible.

In my market, $500,000 gets a decent 4 plex, and $400,000 get a nice duplex. Tons of $120,000 condos. Average rent for any 2br/1ba $1150/mo.
