Buying a Multi Family Home Is Not Like a Primary Home

 

First why have you as a home buyer looking for a non-owner occupied multi family or for investment not talked to a mortgage lender?  This is absolutely a paramount step before you even consider making an offer on a home that is a ri multi family home for salemulti-family.  Oh you say I can buy an investment home because I know what it takes to buy one.  Sadly to say so many investors do not understand that lenders are not going to lend to you with 3.5% down.  If you are all cash well you are golden and can proceed well with your purchase.

 

Has anyone heard that 25% down is needed to put down on an investment home that is multi-family?  That is why I say talk to a lender if buying a mult-family even crosses your mind.  Be informed, be knowledgeable and do not waste the real estate agent's or sellers' time with wishing about it.  I am not a lender but an informed RI real estate agent that ensures my clients talk with the lenders in the know prior to proceeding with any offer.  Make sure you are smartly guided in your buying process.

Investment home buying is not a simple down payment.

Nothing simple about multi family purchases...and knowing the financial requirements is a first step as you wisely point out Ginny Gorman

Good morning Ginny. You right about the down payment when it comes to a non-owner occupied purchase of a multifamily home, but if it is owner occupied it can be done with 3.5% down.

So true Joe and many are looking for the 'investment' deal and just do not get it...

Buying investment property is a different animal entirely. Sending the buyer to the lender first can save a lot of disappointment later.

Happy Monday Ginny Gorman,  I just had a phone call yesterday of a past client that wants to buy a investment property and wants a 3.5% down.  Now I have to be a teacher.  Make it a great day!

Sadly...buyer's of multi-Families think the money rolls in...when sometimes deferred maintenance makes the new buyer a loser for a while.

So true Steve...there is always maintenance unless one is a slum lord!

Ginny investment multi-family properties are a different animal, and the guidelines are far more strict than they are for a single family owner occupied property.
