Owner-Occupant Financing Scenarios:

A: House Hack with FHA Financing: Purchase with just 3.5% down, occupy one apartment, and projected rental income from the other three apartments is essentially equal to your entire monthly PITI and PMI.

B: Prefer Conventional Financing? Put 20% down and collect rent from the other three apartments. Your projected monthly housing cost is only $729 per month—less than renting a comparable two-bedroom apartment in Better Waverly while building equity in your own apartment building.
