š How Much Cash Do You Actually Need To Buy A Multi-Family? š°
Everyone wants to own a duplex, triplex, or 4-unit ā but most buyers have no idea what it really takes to close. The number changes A LOT depending on the loan you use.
Here's the breakdown on a $1M purchase:
ā FHA (Owner-Occupied) ā 3.5% down = $35K + ~$20K closing = $55K total ā Conventional (Owner-Occupied) ā 5% down = $50K + ~$20K closing = $70K total ā DSCR (Pure Investment) ā 20% down = $200K + ~$25K closing = $225K total
The big takeaway? If you're willing to live in one of the units, you can get into a multi-family for a fraction of what most people think. FHA on a 2ā4 unit is one of the most powerful wealth-building plays in real estate ā your tenants help pay the mortgage while you build equity.
