4 PLEX investing - Big down payment limits you ?

[Sashika De Silva]

Hello Everyone..

I am new to bigger pockets! Very excited to be here! I am starting my real estate journey with my husband. We are thinking of a 4 plex to buy. Where are the best affordable cities? And more than anything my concern is, if we buy one in the range of 500 k, now a down payment comes down to about 120 k.. because you have to put 25% down, then how do you buy a few more, without having to put down such big down payments? This limits you from investing more at once?

Would really appreciate your help here !

Thanks
