Living in Rental Property versus Renting Out

[Kristin Synnott]

I was looking to buy a townhouse in the Orlando Florida area. However, I'm not sure if it is better from me to get a regular mortgage loan, live in one of the bedrooms, and rent out the other bedrooms. Or if I should get a rental property loan and rent out the entire townhouse? I graduated college recently as an engineer and have 20% for the down payment on a few of the townhouses I was looking at.
