After doing some research for a few months, I wanted to follow the steps of taking out a USDA loan for an owner occupied multi-family property.  Later speaking with a local realtor, I somehow missed how many areas close to my current residence are ineligible for USDA loans and I was educated that my search would need to move south towards Middletown area.  Living in Wilmington, Middletown is a bit out of the way but if it is what I have to do to get started I'm willing.  Only issue I have is when I'm doing an online search of multi-family homes in the state of Delaware, I find mf properties everywhere but in Middletown..  I'm not in a position to make a large down payment and that's the reason for interest in the USDA loan.  Just looking for any advice out there from the BP community, thanks in advance!

You could also try using an FHA loan.
