Hello BP, was wondering if anyone knows of any banks in ct that will allow a purchase of a house around 50k to 60k with 25% down.

I recently purchased our house here in Sydney thru bank mortgage and looking forward to start investing in rentals here.

If a bank is involved they’ll need it to be a legal agreement.

Let's assume that the Seller provides bank statements that shows the tenant is paying rent every month,  the Seller is not willing to provide the property vacant, and my goal is to buy and hold. 

So, well, his company was making bank!

@Brit Dunlop  Yes its definitely commercial loans - mixed use. your best bet is probably a local bank or try to get it at seller financing.The good news is the 2 apartments shouldn't be hard to fill in, the shop could take longer. are you dealing through a broker or the seller directly?? 

Also, I would recommend finding a real estate agent that you trust, and begin talking to lenders (banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions, etc.)

I'm planning to only accept bank checks or money order for the deposit.Rent payment on accepted online through COZY.

In our case, our usual lender recommended a different local bank for the HELOC based on rates and his experience, and we kept him in the loop so we had a sense of timing both sides.

Avoid your local banks unless you don't qualify for Conventional financing.
