FHA loan, down payment, cashflow

[Alex Kohler]

Hi BP!

I had a quick question.... If you use and FHA loan for 3.5% down on a small multifamily property can it still cashflow (or at least pay mortgage) if I live in one of the units? Or will I have to put at least 20% down to house hack it? If so, what are the best cities to start out in if this is my first investment and not a ton of capital? Let me know, thank you!!
