Fourplex as FHA. (will it work?)

[Elijah Artman]

Hello all,

I'm thinking to buy a fourplex in Sacramento area, as my FHA. (1st house purchase)

I'm interested in midtown area where prices range from 350K-700K, with rent $600-900 per unit.
the 1% rule probably won't be possible.
what should I do?
should I look at different location where pricing is cheaper?
how can i make my FHA purchase work, to either house-hack or cashflow?

thx
