While traditional loans might be tough with current interest rates and no W2s, there are definitely creative financing options and strategies to consider.One possibility is exploring seller financing.

We're exploring both options. 

Some folks want a seat at the table and real control, while others prefer to be passive.. letting the sponsor do the heavy lifting.From what I read in The Economist, some markets (like Phoenix) are experiencing fresh pockets of growth in multifamily, so it’s definitely worth exploring if you’re eyeing future expansion.

•Explore private lenders or hard money loans if you need higher leverage, though the interest rates will likely be much higher.

If lenders reject a HELOC due to lack of W2 income, explore DSCR loans, private lenders, or partnerships to fund new investments while retaining your current property.

Seller financing and “Subject To” are other financing options to explore. 

If rents are under market, consider small increases or exploring additional ways to optimize your cash flow, such as taking on another roommate.Refinancing is also worth exploring in the future.

I would be delighted to connect if you have any questions or if you're considering exploring the Kansas City market.
