I currently work a international construction job. I do not own any property in the U.S. and spend more than 300 days outside of the U.S.A. I am an American citizen and have my permanent address as my parents address. My company pays for my housing internationally so my name is not on any lease. Can i still have a primary residence in the U.S.A. So that i could qualify for a lower down payment on a fourplex? 

Newbie here, looking to get into my first deal. I want it to be a 2-4 unit, used as a primary residence. My question is how should i finance this? I have no debt and a 780 credit score. My understanding is that conventional is cheaper, but for multiple units you have to put down 15%-25% ; and for FHA you only need to put down around 3.5% with a higher PMI. Any thoughts, comments, concerns, suggestions, opinions are much appreciated.
