Hi Robert,I've worked with these scenarios for FHA owner occupied many times prior there are certain guidelines that are much different than standard FHA plus the fact you can use income that's not yours or projected income to help you qualify.In areas where rent to price ratios are higher, the income from the other 3 units can practically "self qualify," the entire property which means you need very little income of your own.Some other things to be concerned about are 3 months of reserves on these FHA loans as compared with "no reserves," usually needed on normal FHA loans.Self sufficiency test, the gross rents of all units including the unit you'd be living in must as a monthly income figure be equal or greater to the PITIA of the entire property or higher.Hope that helps.
