First time home buyer
Hello BP! I'm fairly new to BiggerPockets, but so far I'm loving everything about it.
I just wanted to get a few opinions on the FHA loan and duplexes/triplexes. I plan on purchasing my first home sometime this year and would love for it to be a duplex or triplex here in San Diego, CA. I was told you have to live there for at least year which I plan on doing, but does that mean I can still rent out the other unit/units? Or is that for all of the units?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys @James Wise @Bruce May @Vincent Aiello
I hope to learn and get some great info from you guys as well as others here on BP so i'm pretty excited.
As far as my pictures goes, I didn't even realize it was sideways until I seen this post LOL. So since it stands out, I'll just leave it for now. We can definitely link up and see what ideas we can come up with. Hey this is what BP is all about!
Thanks again fellas..
Jeff
