I have 35k in the bank for closing, plus 10k reserves, a 762 credit score, pre-approval for a 150k FHA loan at 2.7% fixed, but only 120k pre-approval with 20% down on a Conventional (2-family) or 25% down conventional (3-family).My current market is pretty tight for multifamily units within my price range (only 13 listings). 

We don't know how deep this recession is going to be or how tight it cuts.
