HI Alberto,
It really all depends what your goals are on first house hack. FHA allows you to put less down payment for 1-4 units but there's usually a higher premium of mortgage insurance and an upfront fee that FHA requires borrowers to pay at closing or to be financed within the loan amount . As for conventional, usually it's 3-5% down payment for single family residence with a lower private mortgage insurance. However for multifamily houses, it will require min of 15-25% down payment for 2-4 units. There are multiple creative ways that you can pursue when it comes to house hack. You can message me and we can connect, I'll be happy to help.
