Buying a 2 family in long island NY
To any multi property investors,
I am trying to buy my 1st two family investment property in Long island New York. But there are some major hurtles to over come.
I have recently received an inheritance from my parents passing. A descent some of money.
My bank will only do a 15 year loan at 5.50% rate with 25% down on a two family home.
Are there other banks out there with better rates and long terms.
Because when I run the numbers on a $400000 home my ROI is only 8% and that is with putting down 100000 cash or more.
I know there are some variables to getting a property cheap by not in this area.
Also I preferred not to invest out of state. I did it once and lost a large some of money.
Any Ideas work be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve

You should able to get 30 year fix with 25% down payment. Try some other banks in your area.
