Low Money Down Home Loans

[Chase Beasley]

All -

I was recently listening to a podcast (and have not been able to find which podcast I was listening to) to where an individual used a specific type of loan that allowed him to take out a mortgage with only 3% down where he lived in the home and rented out a room or a portion of the house. The low down payment allowed for a loan that encompassed the purchase of the home but also construction improvements. 

I've been searching to determine what loan provides this and have not been successful. I thought it was a FHA 203k but am concerned if I can use this and purchase the lower quality home and rent out rooms in it while living there.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks

Yes the 203k loan is the one you are probably looking for. I know with this loan, like a normal FHA loan, there are certain criteria that you must meet to get approved for this. Definitely look into it.
