Wanting to buy a triplex in a very cheap area where margins can be pretty crazy. Don’t want to put 20% down. My dad used to get loans for his investment properties for less than 20%, but both he and all his prior lending contacts are all retired.

Eventually I’ll have my own, but any “big” lenders that will do investment props for less than 20%?

Most traditional lenders (i.e. banks) typically require you to put 25% or more down on an investment property. Those are the typical Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae guidelines which most “big lenders” follow

Where are you looking at buying, OP?

Unless you have a substantial amount of other business with a bank, I doubt it.

“Big” lenders are the wrong ones for these types of loan products.

Also, as D1 mentioned, these were likely relationship loans, so they likely had 6 figures in other accounts with the same bank to get a friendly rate.

You can get a hard money loan that cover 85-90% of the acquisition cost and 100% of the renovations

Good margins means it’s a PITA to deal with. Never invest in D or C class areas

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

My assumption is that one makes money in RE with leverage. So, would you never let your equity in any given property get above certain% (I.e re-leverage and invest elsewhere) or would one eventually want to own a property outright?

Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.
