15-20% down conventional requirement for multi-family?
Good morning, I'm working on buying a second home (currently 2-unit), and renting out the single family house I purchased last year. The mortgage broker found that just recently, maybe around the end of March '23, that you can no longer put only 5% down on a multi-family using a conventional mortgage, and I'm required to use FHA, which also requires having a renter in place before I moved, letter of explanation, etc.
Is anyone else running into this? I'm planning to occupy the entire house, both units, so I wonder if I could buy it as a single family? Thank you
