Looking to buy investment property (multi-unit) and I will be residing in one of the units. 20% down payment required?

More info needed.. When it comes to Conventional financing, the Loan to Value (LTV) is different for 2 units (85% LTV), and 3 to 4 units (75% LTV). anything over 4 units, you cannot obtain conforming financing.. only commercial, and if you live in a commercial property, you will limit your lending choices.. With FHA, owner occupied investment, you can go as little as 3.5% down. In the past, one area of loan fraud was folks purchasing a property for investment, but stating they are going to live in it.. for this reason, you need to understand that the underwriter will scrutinize your file if you are exiting a large single family home, and now want to live in a much smaller duplex, triplex or 4plex.. so be prepared to give a compelling letter of explanation.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.
