fha mfh owner occupied 3% -10% down rent one of the units out while living in it ( house hacking) vs conventional non owner occupied investment 20-25% down. requires 6 months of reserves and funds must be seasoned for a minimum of 2 months also. my first property was out of state investment but if I was staying in the same state as my property I would have done fha 3-5% down to save on my down payment
