20% or 3.5% down for my first multihome?
I recently sold my townhouse and made about 90K and am ready to invest on my first multihome (Florida market, planning on self managing as I am just starting out) Should I put down 20% down to make more profit (no pmi) and later on get a heloc to reinvest in more properties or use the fha loan for 3.5% down, I am thinking of house hacking at first and use the remaining money to invest in a couple more properties (less profit due to pmi)?
