House Hacking Pre-Approval

[Ryan Lehman]

Hello, 

I'm very new to real estate investing and was looking to do my first house hack. I wanted to first get pre-approved and noticed that when I go to multiple lenders websites, they ask if my objective is for investing or primary residence. When I choose primary residence, the amount of loan money I can get is a lot higher than if I had chosen investing and I was wondering since I technically will be living in the house for at least a year, do I get pre-approved for primary residence or investing?
