primary residence duplex financing

[Samuel Mitchell]

Location: Roanoke, VA

I am needing a contact/advice on lending options for duplex investment property (only 2 doors). I was working with a local bank, whom was offering a conventional loan but required %25  down payment  because it was multi-family.  This seems very high considering this is a first time investment. I have the %25  but i am trying to utilize the least amount of skin in the game for obvious reasons.

I have heard of FHA loan options that would not require such steep percentages up front. I own a primary residence as of now, and this would be my first investment. I am also willing to move into said property to secure the favorable loan options.

Does anyone have a bank/lender contact/ advice for said situation? 

Thanks ahead of time!
