This is called HomeStyle conventional investor mortgage.

The popular house hacking program is called "Home Possible" it's a conventional loan and 5% down.

If you have access to such opportunities in your network, then you have the potential to grow your savings more successfully than in a conventional portfolio. 

shop around if you want typical conventional agency debt then 20% but you could also do a conventional rehab, but why are you not open to non or sub prime non doc type loans or BRRR strategy

Going plain Jane and buying a fully rehabbed property with a conventional lender will cost you 25% down. they are going to want all sorts of reserves, etc and that 25k that you have saved up, unfortunately, will not go far. if you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

My question is in regards to financing multi-family homes: Are there multiple types of loans that a Canadian can inquire about (other than the conventional bank loans)?

Couple other questions: Is it better to do an upfront conventional loan or pay upfront cash then do a cash out refi?

Alternatively, you could do a cash-out refi by putting a mortgage on House B which would be the cheapest money you could borrow since you would get owner occupied rates and a conventional loan. 

The inventory in the MLS is fairly dry for this type of property.
