So when people ask whether a housing authority  awards FMR, what they usually mean is: what payment standards are they actually using by bedroom size or zip code, and are they using Small Area FMR versus a metro wide standard.The most efficient way to get a concrete answer is to ask the housing authority for their current payment standards by bedroom size and whether those standards vary by zip code.

Brandon Van Wormer 2–4 Unit in WA With 5% Down – Lender Recommendations & Advice
23 January 2026 | 4 replies
Yes — 5% down on an owner-occupied 2–4 unit can be possible, but it’s not as widely offered as people think and it’s very guideline-dependent.A few points that usually explain the confusion:Many lenders will do 5% down on 1-unit but require higher down payment on 2–4 units (often 15–25%) depending on the conventional program, unit count, and the borrower profile.Some lenders simply don’t have the product appetite for 2–4 unit owner-occupied, even if it’s technically allowed under certain guidelines.Expect tighter overlays: reserves, DTI, rental income treatment, condition requirements, and sometimes LLPA hits that make it less attractive for the lender to offer.If you’re house hacking, the most common low-down paths I see people actually close are:FHA (especially on 2–4 units) if you can tolerate MI and the appraisal/condition standardsConventional options with higher down (varies lender-to-lender)If you want, share the unit count (2/3/4), target price range, and whether you’re trying to use projected rents to qualify.
