Yes — FHA lets you purchase a 2-, 3-, or 4-unit home when you live in one unit as your primary residence. That house-hack path can offset your payment with rental income while keeping FHA’s low down-payment structure. Ryan and Steve map unit count, loan limits, and rent scenarios before you shop.
For FHA purchase financing, “multi-family” means a legal 2–4 unit residential property — not a large apartment complex.
