USDA vs FHA vs Conventional 5% for duplex owner occupy?
Hello BP, new investor here about to put my first investment property under contract! I am owner occupying a duplex and my lender just informed me that I can use a USDA loan because of the county I will be purchasing in. I have the funds to go 5% conventional, FHA, or USDA so I have my choice here. I only plan on living at the property for a year or two. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated, I am a newbie!
