Typically, house hacking is for people purchasing 1-4 unit properties; properties where FHA financing is able to be utilized. 5+ multifamily properties are usually going to require 20%-25% down while FHA financing on 1-4 unit properties will usually require less than 4% down. The buyer then will rent out the additional rooms/units to help pay their mortgage while hopefully cash flowing at the same time.
