Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

marketing such as google adds, Facebook, direct mail and I'm sure the list goes on.

@Collin Luckett what your touching on for changing of buyer during pending is not a viable direction. 

I agree their insights into often undervalued markets is interesting but I also think that thousands of people look at the same data and these are often small markets and can't sustain hundreds of new STR's

Do they use a servicing company to make the payments directly to the , or do they make payments directly to the seller and hope they pass them on to the lender?

Indy can definitely fit both categories.....section 8 and small MF#3.

Seller financing can be a fantastic way to get into a 4+ unit property, especially in a competitive market like Chicago.Have you started reaching out to owners directly or networking with agents who specialize in multifamily properties?
