The right financing depends on your goals, portfolio size, and whether you plan to occupy the property. Here's a quick overview of the paths most investors I work with consider.
Standard financing for 2–4 unit properties, including owner-occupied options with lower down payments for house-hackers.
Qualify based on the property's rental income rather than personal income — a common path for investors scaling beyond their first few doors.
State and local programs (like MassHousing options) can reduce upfront cash needed for eligible owner-occupant purchases.
A common way investors scale from a first small property into a larger portfolio, deferring capital gains taxes along the way through a 1031 exchange.
Lower down payment financing, house-hack to offset your own housing cost while building equity and landlord experience.
Use accumulated equity and rental income history to qualify for your next 3–4 unit investment property.
Defer capital gains tax by rolling proceeds from a sale into a larger multifamily property, consistent with IRS 1031 requirements.
Repeat the process to build a portfolio of larger multifamily assets over time.
