Initial Investment on Multifamily
Hello all!
I plan on purchasing my first rental property soon, which will be multifamily (4 units). I am going to house hack and stay in one unit. Therefore I planned on taking advantage of the FHA loan. However, if I have the means to put down a larger downpayment, should I do so? I know this will take my mortgage down but I imagine it wont be by too much. Was wondering if anybody had first-hand knowledge of putting down larger down payments vs small ones. Thanks in advance!

If you have the option I would take the 3.5% FHA with minimal out-of-pocket vs putting 25% down with a standard conventional loan.
