Go here (fanniemae.com link), and sum up all the LLPAs applicable to your scenario.So let's say 75% LTV triplex investment property with a solid 700 FICO.LTV/FICO: 1.250%Investment property: 2.125%Unit count: 1.000% (owner occupant house hackers get this one too)TOTAL: No biggie, a mere 4.375%, in discount points, which is $17,500 on a $400k loan.Do you see why we just default to offering the higher rate, rather than walking through that and asking for another $17,500 in fees (while trying to maintain a straight face) on top of all other normal closing costs every time?

@Gene Hacker is spot on.....

The meetup mentioned by @Gene Hacker is a good one.

Hey everybody. I am a newbie investor, land lord, and home owner. I bindged listen to bigger pockets religiously. I recently purchased a triplex to live in one unit and rent other 2. Was wondering if anyone had any id...

A lot of aspiring house hackers lose sight of this and lose deals because of it.4.

My agent and I figured it was best to keep it this way to attract potential home hackers (owner occupants) or investors in order to have a broader pool of potential buyers.The duplex itself was in mint condition by foreclosure standards.

Additionally, and no secret here to house hackers, I have the advantage of acquiring the property as my primary residence as a first time home buyer, which will allow me to put as little as 3% down.That said, I'm wondering if I can "rinse, lather, and repeat" this strategy for my next investment in say, 12 months?  

Hi @Corey Hacker! 

Anyway, finally got it listed and can't wait to start the journey as a landlord and house-hacker.
