I live in San Francisco and am looking to invest in 3-4 unit properties in Columbus, OH (although I am still considering investing in other types of properties).

I Google'd up a list of about 10 and called each one for a quick chat about rates, their company, and whether they might specialize in particular types of investments (single/multi family, vacation, AirBnB, etc).

Does anyone have a suggested mortgage company they would use for this type of loan?

Almost feels weird to type that. 90% of this site would want to be the one to be owner in the end once all the cash is pulled on the refi and it’s a cash flowing property with plenty of equity.

Also, define your cirteria what type of property in what part of JAX you'd want to find.

So far I was thinking: CityProperty type: DuplexExclude corporate and trust ownedAbsentee owners in and out of stateI wasn't sure about LTV or Equity % was hoping someone on here would have some advice as to the accuracy of those and if they would be applicable in my situation to use.

I have started this discussion to see what people say about this type of model when it comes to "turnkey".   

@Peter Bui I think you need to recheck your mortgage numbers and I would anticipate additional capex and repairs in this type of product and age of the triplex.

You may also be able to find a place with an in law suite type you can live in or you can rent out, if you want the duplex like investment.

So how much money should be set aside for repairs given these different types of homes?
