Trying to help my cousin get started. Anyone here successfully house hack a multifamily FHA owner occupied in MA? What broker are you working with? Please share recommendations. The people that she has been working with are very black and white and she has been having a hard time. Her two main problems: They will only count existing rents and not consider market rent (current rent usually low when selling building) They want a vacant unit at closing and not just on notice. Most sellers reject the offer based on this? Any recommendations to more flexible brokers would be appreciated

Talk with Lisa Larkin at Shamrock Financial.  She is one of the better mortgage brokers I work with.
