Go try and find a good deal on a MF, no inventory for a reason.

It seems the few lenders I've spoken with all want to direct to conventional vs anything else.

The local bank allows me to purchase 2-4 investment units with a 30 year conventional loan + renovation loan for all fixes with 20% down The renovation loan is kept in an escrow and paid to the contractors as the work gets done.Anyone buying 2-4 units and doing it this way?

In my opinion, right now, there seems to be a surplus of inventory for sale however, the prices are set a little high.

The one residential is moving out, so I could go with an owner-occupied FHA or conventional loan.  

He is well beyond the standard allowable conventional loan limit and uses the best means possible (private money) to continue to fund his single family real estate investments in several markets around the United States, some for cash flow and others for appreciation. 

Conventional loans require higher down payments and PMI.

talk to a conventional bank not a hard money lender.

Inventory is in the 5-6 month range, with 20%+ more active listings on the market compared to July 2023.

Use a consistent naming convention - ex. 2024.03.25 Home Depot3.
