Lender dilemma here - need opinions
Hey,
I'm currently looking to buy a 2-4 plex in Austin and shopping around lenders but running in to an issue.
Lender 1: 5.375% - 30 year but needs 25% down because it's an investment ($5k reserves needed)
Lender 2: 5.375% - 30 year only 20% down needed but wants $20-30k in reserves
Issue is I really want to get 20% down AND have minimal reserve requirements so that I can buy something bigger. Should I keep shopping around other lenders for better rates/terms?
Quick info about me:
-740+ credit
-Own 2 other rentals that are break-even
Thanks guys!
