Multi-Family Friendly Lender? SOCAL

[Marcus Gantevoort]

Hello,

Based on my income, I am pre-approved to purchase a property up to 398K however, I would like to purchase a multi-family property (triplex) for $625K. Would it be easier to purchase such a property if there were already tenants in place? Ideally, I would live in one of the units and rent out the other two.

Thank you.
