Pretty exciting news now for those that are looking to house hack to build wealth, especially for those looking to purchase 1-4 unit properties to live in one unit and rent out the others.

For sometime now, if you were looking to purchase a 1-4 unit; you would have to put down 15%-25%, in some cases. Effective November 15, you could (certain restrictions still apply) now buy a 1-4 unit property and put down a minimum of 5%. While 1-4 multi-units is pretty hard to find; this new policy for a conventional loan makes it another alternative to the 3.50% FHA financing option.
