Also, with FHA, family members can give a gift to help with down payments. 

As already mentioned, unless the Seller is direct family, gifting equity doesn't really work.

. $25 barely feeds a family of four a cheap meal.

My wife and I are currently househacking a duplex and I'm not sure if we will ever be able to live in a single family again!

Also last November I bought a single family house that is an airbnb and it has a 1/1 apartment in the back that is a long term rental. 

I'm interested in buying single family (even though I hate this idea at a young age) because of the appreciation and low multifamily volume.

I am mainly looking for a single family home in the DFW area.

Has anyone had success in buying down rates on single family with commercial loan?
