Can I use an FHA on a mult-fam property?
If this is a dumb idea, please call me out on it. My wife and I are thinking about making our first home a multi family home (duplex to fourplex range), and I'm wondering what the best financing option would be. In my area these properties start off at 200k. We don't have 20% to put down, I'm not interested in borrowing money from relatives, and I don't like the sound of zero down deals just yet. Could I do something like an FHA since this is our first house even though it would be a multi? Are there any other low % down payment financing options out there?
Any advice or experience would be really appreciated. Thanks!
