THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO HOUSE HACK YOUR WAY INTO A FUTURE INVESTMENT PROPERTY!
Typically, someone looking to buy a multi-family property as an owner-occupied residence would need to put down 15% - 25% to get a Conventional multi-family loan. Now Fannie Mae offers the 5% down loan.

With the lesser down payment requirement, the FHA loan would be
$4,200 less in cost difference. However, the Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium
that is paid monthly is $290 more expensive.
If you take your cost difference of $4,200 divided by monthly savings of $290
that is a 14 month break even period. After that, you're saving $3,980 a year!
BONUS: Conventional Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) automatically falls off upon having 20% or greater equity in the property. This could happen quickly with market upturns. Unlike FHA, you are not required to "refinance" to get out of the insurance.
Refinancing adds more expenses in fees, AND resets your mortgage + front loaded interest.
