House Hack Financing

Happy Thursday,

I'm in the process of getting myself ready to purchase my first investment property in VB; however, I am unsure if I should go with an fha loan or a conventional loan. Coming up with 20% down on a 220k duplex is a little difficult; however, the pmi and premium that an fha loan requires could end up costing me more in the long run. I welcome any and all advice.

@Tyree Etheridge you may want to look into a conventional loan with 5% down. If you qualify you'll still have to pay PMI, but unlike with a 401k loan the PMI falls off when you have crossed the 20-25% equity mark
