Plus the more traditional styles that developed over time, such as a side-by-side rambler duplex or stacked (shoebox) 4-plex. 

@Pepper Bradford-  thanks - 1) anyone thats  bringing in  funds for the  down payment on a  inv purchase  will need to be a  co borrower and go on the loan / title   2)  this isnt  anyhting unique or new   for  traditional lenders    3)  many investors  will  balk  at  having to  provide your  lender  all their  financials / tax  returns  etc ....maybe you can  find some that  are OK with this 

The most obvious one, of course, is that the buyer can go ahead with their investment plans even if they do not have funds set aside for the down payment.Another significant advantage is that the buyer can save on traditional bank closing costs, which often range from 2%-5% of the purchase price.From the seller’s perspective, this financing mechanism will make it easier to make a sale in difficult market conditions.

good old traditional advice :)Invest in multiple private REIT/Real Estate fund backed by big name, and you are all set. 

Perhaps in the meantime you can pick up a traditional rental at 15% down within a reasonable driving distance, or alternatively, some lenders have been offering a 10% down vacation loan option-perfect for an Airbnb.

Fannie and Freddie will now allow titling to be done in the name of an LLC - which enabled traditional/conventional lenders to allow it. 

For the seller, it can help them sell their property more quickly and potentially receive a higher price than they would have received through a traditional sale.Seek legal guidance: It is important to seek legal guidance when using seller financing as a strategy.

Use a Promissory Note and Mortgage or Deed of TrustIf you’re familiar with traditional mortgages, this model will sound familiar.

For a traditional multifamily property, you'll probably need to look in DC itself for a reasonable price point.

Still have yet to see someone make sense of it against any other traditional loan.
