Using a Hard Money Lender to start investing

[Marc A Louis-charles]

I'm looking at buying a multi-family as a investment property in the Boston, Mass area. My goal is to have several properties that bring in cash flow for me. I'm looking at houses that will be up for auction or foreclosure, I think good deals could be made there. In researching hard money loans I've seen any where between 10-20% down payment. I've also come across 0% down payment. Would working with a asset based lender a good way to go to start with? is it possible to get a loan 100% financed to buy a investment property? I will re-finance asap. what are my options?
