Loan terms on first investment property
I have put an offer on my first 4 family unit and am in the process of picking my loan terms. I am putting 20% down and the loan is for $76k. My bank has offered me two options. 1. A 3 year term amortized over 20 years at 5.25% or option 2. a 5 year term amortized over 20 years at 5.5%. I am not totally thrilled with either option as i didn't want to have a balloon at the end of my loan. Going into the investment i was hoping to have a fixed rate over 15 years. My question is are these two options horrible? Are there banks that do 15 year fixed on 4 family investment properties? Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks
