Looking to do a House Hack - Networking

My wife and I want to do a house hack in Orange County. 

We want to possibly leverage the new Fannie/Freddie 5% down loan. 

Outside of our W2s, we are current RE investors with investment properties: a 4 unit, a 44 unit, and STRs. We do not own or have not owned a primary residence and are currently renting. 

I am also aware of the advantages of ADUs and am open to exploring that as well. 

I want to connect with local RE experts to purchase a 2-4 unit MF property in the OC area, specifically Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Dana Point, or San Clemente.

TIA!

@Chad Acerboni yeah, to confirm here - you cannot use the "high balance" limits on the 5% down 2-4 unit options at this current time.  Also, just to clarify, the 5% down 2-4 unit is only a Fannie Mae option and not Freddie Mac. @Dan H. that might be why your lender told you different than those loan limits.
