How to Finance 2nd Property

[Jake Thompson]

Hello my fellow investors, I eventually acquired my first property, a duplex, and am look to purchase another 2-4 unit property soon. Right now I'm trying to figure out the best potion for financing it. So far my thoughts are:

Conventional: save up 20% down (slow, but definitely an option)

Family/outside investors: could be tough since I'm so new.

Hard money lender

Seller financing

What do you guys think?

If my income weren't already all tied up in RE and I were in a responsible position to be a REI type, I'd totally bounce around the universe always using VA/FHA o/o and build up an empire that way without ever putting more than 3.5% down.
