Apt Purchase
I'm looking at purchasing a 4 unit apartment, the cost is $195K. I've ran the numbers and there is definite positive cash flow assuming worst case. I have great credit and a substantial income. But I don't have 20 -25% to put down as my bank wants. Any suggestions on how to finance this property?
thanks

Second Mortgage??
Will the seller take back a 2nd for the remaining balance? If you're willing to pay almost $50k a unit, they should really consider it.
Ask the seller to hold a second for the remaining balance for a period of five years with a balloon in the end. Now they probably will not go five, but might come back with two years...At that point you can refi and pay them off.
