FHA will allow up to a 4-unit so long as you live in the property. You'll only need 3.5% down.

The big items to be aware of: with FHA you will need to live in one of the units; and if you put less than 10% down, you will be having to pay PMI for the entire time you have the FHA loan; and the PMI will be counted along with Principal, Interest, Insurance and taxes, and your other regular paymentsto determine you Debt to Income (DTI) level, which should probably be under 45% (better if under 36%). Since you have not previously been a landlord, it is unlikely you will get to count any of the income from the other units toward meeting that DTI limit. Once you have been doing it a coupleyears, that will change. There are also different amounts one can get loans for from FHA, depending on how may units are in the property. Your bestinformation will be available by talking to a local, Licensed mortgage professional.

FHA 3.5% down, live in one of the units. The income from the other units will be based on 75% of the projected income (or existing income, from seller's 1040 Schedule E, if available). With 4 units, your housing cost could be very low, or even zero.

After 2 full years your only option is FHA with a minimum of 3.5% down. What you qualify for also will depend on what other current debt you have. Also as you already stated how many units you want will also play a roll in what you qualify for.Call us or email us at 201-962-3555 or Team@BestMortgageOption.com for ano cost no obligation analysis of your situation ask for Michelle or Benny.
