Low downpayment possible?

[Allen Berrebbi]

I am looking into purchasing a larger multiplex (more than 4) and was wondering if a low downpayment is even possible. Same with a commercial property, both Tampa. You hear all these very low money down/zero down stories in podcasts but was wondering if that is even realisitc.

5+ unit complexes are going to be commercial, which means you can't do FHA or a standard conventional loan. You will need to do a commercial loan. This requires 25% down generally. If you want less, I would encourage you to look at private financing or owner carry.
