Best financial options for my buying my second rental property.

[Jonathan M.]

Hi everyone!

 I am currently am ready for another investment, I currently own a duplex in which I live in one side and rent out the other which covers all my living expenses .

Right now I have about 90k in equity in my duplex, another 90k in cash and a 760 Credit Score.

So far all of my financing options require me to put a 25 percent down payment on a second investment property with about a 4.7 percent interest rate which leaves me little room for MY NOI.

So my question,

Is there a way for me to put less than 25 percent down with a lower interest rate? I've also heard of cash out refinances which would give me a way to put zero of my cash down but I am uneducated in this area.

Additionally, I have also looked at the option of a FHA construction-to-perm loan with 5 percent down and 3.5 interest.

So building a Quadplex in high desired area where rent is high, however, I am uneducated in this area of construction financing. 

Thank you for the help! John

Hey John,

You could move and owner occupant is much less down.

You could find seller financing. 

You could do commercial loan and put the duplex up for collateral. 

just a few options here!
