Can you get an FHA loan on a 5+ unit multifamily property?

Is it possible to get an FHA loan on a 5+ unit multifamily property? At this point I realize it would be considered commercial real estate, but I would still plan on living in one of the units.

    I believe the answer to that would be no. The rules say up to 4 units.

    Hey, @Ben Feder , unfortunately, this would be a no. With an FHA, it will have to be between 1-4 units.
