I Just put in my first 3 offers out of state. I have a down payment question.

Hello everyone.

So this is whats happening, I have been looking into investing in AZ and I just put in three offers on three different properties, all 4plex and will the loan I got a will be making an income monthly from them...

 Im a little bit worried because I don't want to be house poor if any of  my offers are accepted.

My questions to you is, how can I get my down payment with out using my own money on top of the mortgage I'm already approved for? 

I was thinking of taking a 2nd loan just for the down payment, but the banks don't want to do that for me.. Any ideas? I would like to buy all 3 of the properties if I can find a good way to get more for my down payment..  any thoughts? I know there is a way to do this and I will find it! 

Also, any thoughts on AZ and the rental markets?

THANK YOU!!!!

Paul, make sure you do not over leverage yourself. You also need to have personal reserves for each property in case of vacancies and maintenance. And with 12-units, you will have maintenance. If you are using conventional financing, there is no way to get around putting less than 25% down. You would want to look at some creative financing. Can the seller carry back a 2nd? 

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but why didn't you figure out the down payment before you submitted offers?
