Getting started

[Shakir Leatherbury]

After doing some research for a few months, I wanted to follow the steps of taking out a USDA loan for an owner occupied multi-family property.  Later speaking with a local realtor, I somehow missed how many areas close to my current residence are ineligible for USDA loans and I was educated that my search would need to move south towards Middletown area.  Living in Wilmington, Middletown is a bit out of the way but if it is what I have to do to get started I'm willing.  Only issue I have is when I'm doing an online search of multi-family homes in the state of Delaware, I find mf properties everywhere but in Middletown..  I'm not in a position to make a large down payment and that's the reason for interest in the USDA loan.  Just looking for any advice out there from the BP community, thanks in advance!
