Conversely you can buy a C type building where there is more cash flow but you are generally dealing with more issues ( older buildings, flakier tenants, more turnover ).If you live in the property you could rent out 3 and occupy the 4th unit using FHA and putting 3.5% down.If you are purchasing straight as an investment then 20% down is typical.Lenders typically look at annual income from your job or business, 401K, IRA, checking, savings, stocks, equity in property, etc.A high end area a quad might be 100k a door or more so 80k down for instance.

Include Roof In Purchase Price & Loan or Lower Price and Replace?
12 October 2021 | 5 replies
The lower purchase price would result in lower monthly mortgage and property tax payments (~3%).The roof is "double roofed" and not showing any signs of leaking but the older roof is warped and likely would need replaced within a few years.I've never dealt with a roof before - Thanks!
