Second-Home Loan on a Multifamily Property?

[Gabriel Hamilton]

Hey BP Community!

I'm scouting properties in upstate New York and found a great duplex. It has an existing long-term tenant in one unit and I plan to STR the second unit. My question is: can I get a second-home loan on a multifamily property?

I've run successful STRs in the past (and currently in other markets), I have a great FICO score, and my W2 income is good, but I've only ever heard of second-home loans on single family rentals. Thanks for your input!
