FHA House Hacking Secrets - 2-4 Unit Underwriting Guidelines

NOTE: I misspoke about the self-sufficiency test when buying 3-4 units with an FHA loan. The total potential rents of ALL units, including the one you will live in, will be used to calculate self-sufficiency. This means that 75% of the rent from all units should produce as much or more in rental income than the Principle, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (PITI) of the mortgage payment.
Discover the secrets of house hacking using an FHA mortgage in this insightful RUclips video, where we dive into buying multi-unit properties, living in one unit, and renting out the rest.

That's amazing! I'm interested in doing this! I started a new career path at a w2 job so I can get funded more easily. I would like to get a fourplex.

The great thing about going from self employed to W2, is you basically only need a paycheck, not a 2 year history as W2. congratulations! It 's a very smart strategy and an exciting path to be on!

Good video. Isn’t the self sufficiency test calculated using 75% of all the rent generated from all 3 units of a Triplex or 4 units of a Fourplex? You explained it as only the rent of the other units the homeowner won’t be occupying.
