Vacation / Second Home Financing on Small Multi-Family
Has anyone worked with a lender that offers second/vacation home financing on small multi-family properties (2-4 units)?
We've been pre-approved for a second home with Navy Fed but they only lend on SFRs for vacation / second homes. We found a great opportunity to purchase a duplex, and get an "almost free" vacation property by renting out the other unit, but have been unable to find a lender that has the right financing product, i.e. not a conventional 20% down investment property loan.
Appreciate all the help in advance!

I was able to get a second home mortgage from a local credit union. They required 10% down for a duplex with a 10/25 ARM. After one year I refinanced the duplex into my business name and took the equity cash out. When I refinanced into the business name I had to leave 20% in the deal.
