Multi-Family Loans - House Hack
LEVERAGE FANNIE MAE'S NEW 5% DOWN MULTI-FAMILY LOAN PROGRAM
THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO HOUSE HACK YOUR WAY INTO A FUTURE INVESTMENT PROPERTY!

You can move out and rent in 1 year.

Impact on Upfront MIP + Annual Mortgage Insurance
FHA
Home Price $785,000
3.5% Down $27,475
Loan Amount $757,525
Upfront MIP $7,575
Monthly MIP $470
Total Down $35,050
FNMA
Home Price $785,000
5% Down $39,250
Loan Amount $745,750
Upfront MIP $0.00
Monthly MIP $180
Total Down $39,250
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.
