Buying Multifamily Properties When You Have Empty Pockets

Are you investing in a multifamily property for the first time? You might not have enough money for it or any cash at all. Multifamily properties can be pricey and investing in a multifamily property involves having a lot of cash.

Thankfully, that won’t be an issue.

Here are some of the best options to purchase a multifamily property without even the need for cash :

Private Money

If you’ve got no cash of your own, you can find yourself a private lender.

Private lenders don’t have any ties to investment firms and can come from people you might even know within your social circle.

Borrowing private money or asking the private lender if they have an account in which they would like a return from would speed up the process needed in getting a down payment for your multifamily property. It also grants the chance of having your investment being widespread among your social group if it goes well.

Equity Shares

If private money is unavailable to you, equity investors are your next best option.

With an equity investor, you get money for the down payment for your multifamily property but you’re also granting them a part of the equity of a property in exchange.

You can also have an equity share with the owner when you and the owner become partners via entity trade in which they get as much equity as they can, ensuring the cash comes flowing in for the both of you.

Trading

If you don’t have any cash on hand, you can attempt to trade in anything that you own.

Trade-in personal property, the equity you owned from other real estate properties, and services that you have in order to generate cash for your multifamily property. Maybe the owner has something that you already have in possession that they don’t even know they needed.

Crowdfunding

As a last resort, you can turn to real estate crowdfunding.

All you need for real estate crowdfunding are reliable connections, networks, and a strong sales pitch towards your community in order to get funding for your multifamily property.

Websites like Kickstarter have made projects like these possible, although it does take dedication and determination to pull off.

Multifamily properties are definitely worth the money you invest, and no, you don’t need a large sum of cash in order to make a profit out of it in the end.
