I will not refinance cash out when both my properties are locked in at 3.75 rate

The seller does not own the property outright, I do have a property picked out and an accepted offer. I have cash for a down payment, but I would rather not come out of pocket 25% if I do not have too. It is a nine unit residential building

I currently own one 3-unit building and one 6-unit building. I have the option to purchase another multi-unit building. I have cash for a commercial down payment, but wanted to know if I could do it another way?  I have great equity in each of my current buildings.  Any advice will be appreciated.  I have thought about a 1031 tax exchange, but really don't want to sell my 3unit at this time.

Thanks

Sean

Quote from @Billy Daniel:

We are currently taking out a second mortgage on one of our properties to buy another.  I'll let you know how it goes, but the numbers are pretty solid!


 Sounds good thanks!

Quote from @Erik Estrada:

There is a program that allows for a second 30 yr fixed mortgage on non owner occupied residences. Max CLTV is 75 % and the max loan amount is capped at $450k


 Thanks! I’ll have to look into that. I see that you’re in California. Do you know if that’s common in other states?

Which is the better option for property owners, Realty Trusts or LLC for investment/rental properties.

I am brand new to biggerpockets. I currently own three properties. 1-single family home(primary residence ), 1-3units, 1-6units (all are rented).  I have a lot of equity built up in each property, but I am also locked in at great rates.  I would like to avoid refinancing if there are other options.  Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sean
