Is there a way to house hack an 8 unit apartment building?

[Ryan Gartley]

I am looking at an 8 unit apartment building and want to know if there is a way to live in one unit and take out an FHA loan to pay for it? All of the banks I called so far say it cant be done. Im feeling defeated. Do i Have to pay the 20percent down? Is there another way to finance for less than 20 percent? Thank you for your time!
