Financing: FHA vs Conventional loans
hey guys. I'm a first time investor looking to purchase a small multifamily unit and eventually purchase more. I've been doing a bunch of reading and research, but one particular question comes to mind which is crucial to getting started. I don't have that much money and want to get started ASAP. Should I go with some type of FHA loan since my credit is good and would only have to put 3.5% down, or save up for the down payment on a conventional loan?
