FHA house hacking questions

[Charles Mitchell]

Hi BP,

So i'm currently looking for a primary residence to house hack. I'm looking for a MFH in NJ. The area I'm looking in i would say 95% of the MFH are zoned for 2 family. However, a lot of these units will have finished basements, which is what I would occupy. I'm looking at a zoned 2 family this weekend, but there are 3 units as well as an unfinished basement. The currently has 2 units rented and the "illegal space" is vacant. Would I still be able to take out an FHA or will I have to tell one of the current tenants they have to move out?
