Let's say I buy a 4 plex under fha I know u have to live in one unit for a year but what if I decide I don't like the neighborhood after I move in and decide to leave before the year.

You would have to buy at a very deep discounted price like $40-50 cents on the dollar if u buying cash so these will have to be REO properties that need some cosmetic repairs for example I am buying  1 families out here for $26k cash (4beds 11/2baths )rehabbing for 10 k .

If you are a first time home owner u can get a four unit with a FHA loan where u only have to put 3.5% down .

I wish u would have known how much fun the whole process is.
