Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income.

We managed to bring the property down in price, overcome objections, and navigate the eviction battle, and in the end, it paid off.The key takeaway here is that if you’re a true cash buyer who can work with private lenders, you can survive long, drawn-out processes like this.
