FHA Family Status Guidelines

[John Squares]

According to FHA Guidelines; a family member can be a parent, sister, brother etc….

So my question is this: Can I buy a multifamily unit with 3.5% down as long as one of my Family members is living in one of the units?

From what I can find, I have been told by some people that I don’t personally have to be in it as long as a family member is in it.  

anyone knowledgeable out there?  Please help and thank you in advance
