Low downpayment for investment properties?

[Sefa Demirtas]

Hi all,

I am looking for investment properties in Greater Boston area. Before the pandemic hit, I was able to find lenders that would offer 20% down for investment properties. Today, I can only find 25% down options. That reduces my purchasing power to the extent that I am almost priced out of neighborhoods I want.

Are 20% down loans for investment properties nonexistent now? Does anyone still offer those? What about interest only loans?

Thanks.
