How can I buy an investment property without putting 20% down?

Looking to be more in the 3.5-5% range

You would most likely have to buy a house pretending to live there, take a multi part loan - like a 80/15/5 or 90/10/10 if they still offer them.

Your payments will be higher as your 2nd mortgage will amortize over 15 years and require faster repayment.

I feel like this would be hard to make it worth it.

I'd like to point out this is mortgage fraud and illegal

For a rental property loan, you may need to actually put down more than 20%... Unless it’s bought as a primary or maybe a second home

Purchase Owner occupied

Just get the primary residence loan and say down the line, you changed your mind.

Marry a veteran or a physician and pay $0 down!

I am a veteran, but can't buy within a certain distance of my primary residence without putting the higher percentage down, as far as I know at least

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.
