Background: I'm looking to buy my first multi-family rental property, a spacious two family home caught my eye in Rhode Island for about $180,000-$190,000, which should be able to get $3000 in rent a month, it needs a bit of work but is in a great location with upside.

Ive been buying and investing for many year but really need help stepping it up.I work in Florida Jacksonville and just recently Miami as well.I was born in Toronto Canada and I work in the USA.I'm looking for some help.I'm looking to purchase multi unit Apartment(s) as a buy and hold and would like to get a good funding source that allows me to use as little funds to make the purchase as possible but I'm very open to advice etc.

If you are using hard money you need to budget for the points and fees as well as traditional third party closing fees.Repairs: The money it is going to take you to rehab the property plus an extra 10% of estimated repair costs to account for unexpected repairs.Holdings Costs: Here is where a lot of investors get tripped up.
