Financing a 3-4 unit building help!

Bassim Audi

Posted

I'm new to BP and to the investment real estate world. I'm working on finding my first property to buy. My intention is to find a 3-4 Unit building to live in one of the units and utilize the rest to house hack my mortgage payments. Where I am currently falling short is that a lot of the buildings I am finding cost quite a bit more than what the FHA/conventional in my area (Chicago) allows for and I don't have the capitol to cover the difference. IE a 3-unit building sell price $640,000 FHA max is $560,000 and I have roughly 50k in hand. Am I living a pipe dream or is there something financially I'm missing?

I'm still working my way through all the content BP has to offer but I thought I would try and engage with smarter people while I do. Thanks in advance for you input!
