For most multifamily, I'm seeing on 30 year amortization to boot.Reminder for the lurkers that this has nothing to do with single family homes, 1-4 unit residential all gets residential mortgage financing, which isn't presently as good as commercial.Odd world where the 8-unit property has a payment that is less than twice as much as the fourplex, even though it pulls in twice the rents, and has less than twice the maintenance expense (the price of the fourplex is likely to be more than half the price of the 8-unit, and more than 1/5th the price of OP's 20-unit, holding constant location etc, but that's another rant for another day).
