When buying your first property, especially multi-family, you're bound to frequently come across occupied units and often while the tenants are home.  

I'm surprised anyone still sources through service magic...I mean home advisor...no wait Angi.

Here are a few options you might consider:Home Equity Loan or HELOC: If you own another property with sufficient equity, you might be able to take out a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to cover the $140K.
