The FHA offers loans for the purchase of multi-family properties, such as duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, with a low down payment and more flexible underwriting criteria compared to traditional loans. To find a multi-family home that is eligible for an FHA loan, you can search for properties on real estate websites, work with a real estate agent who specializes in FHA loans, or contact an FHA-approved lender. The lender can help you determine if a specific property is eligible for financing and assist you with the loan application process.
