You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

There are multiple options for the property, the hardest part may be deciding which one to pursue.

Higher contribution limits, participant loan option, no UBIT on financed real estate, to name a few.

Before diving too deep into property searches, it's wise to first determine your financing options.

Most lenders will offer two options:1: 20% down and 20 yr amortization and 10 yr term.2. 25% down and 25 yr amortization and 10 year term.Rates will vary by region, lender, and relationship with your lender.

Lenders typically require a minimum down payment of 15-20% for multifamily properties.
