Direct mail to find first house hack financed FHA in Cincinnati

[Nicholas Patrick]

Title pretty much says it all. I am looking to househack with a small multi family, but the best way to purchase is through FHA for me.

The market right now is almost totally dead where I am looking (Cincinnati area) for small multis in a livable area. Not just no good deals but no deals at all.

With an FHA loan, closing usually takes longer and most people want a quick close when dealing off market.

Is this just a bad idea all around? Anyone have experience doing this? What advice would you have?
