I've called a couple banks and they say they don't lend that low or they want 35-40% down, which would take away from my working capital and slow down the process.

I found a house in coddo mills that is around 300K and I need to pay $300 every month from my pocket after renting out that house due to current high interest rates (25% down payment). 

@Ethen SanchezHi, I currently live in California and on multiple for Plexes in St.

The questions was whether my fire escapes are up to code, and since the Fire Department approval was given in 1940, on a small slip of paper, it's grandfathered even though it doesn't meet current codes.

Good morning,I am a veteran currently stationed in south korea.

I found a duplex that currently cash flows very well even with today's rates. 

You'll need to provide more info on the current financials of the asset you are hoping to buy to substantiate the loan amount and purchase price.

I currently work with an investment fund group that purchases the properties we want and then offers us a lease with an option to purchase the property after three years. 

Current payment on it is around 900 with about a 4% interest rate. 

However I call one of them explained my situation, currently starting, getting to know the value and look for lenders, however his answer was not what i expected, he let me know they are looking for investors with money so they can help them...So I was wondering If you have any advise/opinion/comment on;Would the fist step  be get to know to what financing amount I have access to, based on my employment and credit score?
