Best city in the country to house hack as an FHA buyer?
So I'm incredibly fortunate to still be employed during these crazy times. I'm also fortunate enough to be able to work from anywhere in the country indefinitely, which has be re-evaluating my real estate ambitions.
Previously I was evaluating 2-4 family house hacks in Northern NJ, and those often fall in the $500,000 - $800,000 range with 0.7% to 0.9% price-to-rent ratios. I'm now living in Minneapolis for at least the summer and evaluating house hacking opportunities here as well, and triplexes/quadplexes here often run $500,000 to $700,000 with 0.8% to 1.0% price-to-income ratios.
FHA loan limits vary by city/state and in certain areas such as CA/NJ/NY they max out at approximately $1,450,000 -- see here for reference:

I can live anywhere in the country. Is there any city in the country where I can find a duplex, triplex or fourplex above $1,000,000 that meets the 1% rule?
