Hello guys. I was wondering if FHA loan with a low downpayment is the way to go for buying first house with the intention of house hacking ? I was thinking put down a lower percentage and then be in a position to buy a 2nd property faster ?

@Mark ONeill FHA inspections are unpopular with sellers. A 5% down conventional is much more competitive. Home Possible by Freddy Mac for example.
