Buying First Home to Eventually Being a Rental Property

[Vanna Aguon]

Im new to the BP forum and needed some advice/clarity.

In the near future I expect to purchase my first home that will eventually turn into an investment property. My partner and I will be living there and renting out a couple rooms for the first 3-4 years.

Would it be reasonable to take advantage of the 0% down for being first time home owners, or would it be ideal to just put a percentage down?
