Successfully house hacking in Bay Area (or similar market) with FHA
I was wondering if anyone has been successful with finding a multi-family home in the Bay Area to 'house hack' that fit the FHA guidelines (recently)? My family would like to move to a nicer area, and thought that using the house hack of buying a multi-unit property to live in one unit and rent the other would be a great way to get some skin in the game. However there doesn't seem to be many properties that will qualify for a FHA loan, those that do are areas that I would not want to live in.
