If you purchase a 4-unit and reside in one of the units, you can qualify for super low FHA financing (3.25% for 30 yrs, with just 3.5% down payment), the other three tenants will probably enable you to live for free (in fact, some FHA lenders limit the max loan amount such that 75-90% of the rental income covers the property's PITI), and you will get some great experience.Since you're renting currently and are a good borrowing candidate, this is an ideal way to go.

the owner just had a stroke and has other properities. this one is the only fixer-upper, he basically just wants out. i,m taking an equity loan on my house for $40000 for down payment, closing, and a small credit line(about $12000). my main concern is the labor charges of contractors in my area. the on-hand cash would enable me to get local handymen and cheap laborers to cut into alot of the cost of teardown and disposial. also a friend workes for a local home builder and is willing to do alot of the drywall work and floors on the side.
