Advice on mortgage and first rental property type

Chris Hidalgo
Posted

Hi All, im new to biggerPockets and currently in the process of research in hopes to purchase my first rental in Scranton or surrounding area. I'm a residential superintendent in NYC which requires me to live on-site so, from my understating I don't think I will qualify for a FHA loan on a multi-family because that requires me to live in one unit for a year. Is there an other alternative ? And will the same apply to a single family home ?

Wilkes Barre Scranton, Pennsylvania
