Looking into buying either a duplex, triplex or fourplex

[Vanessa Carvajal]

I have been reading on house hacking and how to be able to buy it with different mortgage options. I read from different sources and here that the best option will be to buy it using an FHA loan. I talked to a realtor agent today about what I'm looking for and my plans on how to get them, I was told by my agent that an conventional loan will be better than an FHA loan. I am confused by this because many sources say that FHA will be best but I want to ask someone here because I want to make sure I am doing the right thing but also don't want to ignore an advise from someone who already works on real estate. Can someone please help me clear my doubts. Thank you!
