Buying multifamily as your primary residence

[Ty Martell]

I currently have a SFH as a primary residence but Is it possible to buy a 4-plex as a primary residence to get a lower interest rate and then rent out 3 of the 4 units and keep 1 not rented as my primary residence for 1 year before renting out all the while still living in my SFH?

Thank you for the reply. It is most definitely not worth it. I was wanting to ask because I couldn't find a definite answer and figured someone on the forums would be able to tell me...mission accomplished. 

my current situation doesn't allow me to move into the multi unit. I will look at different creative strategies to buy a MF property with less of my own money down.
