Fannie Mae recently announced that it will drastically reduce multifamily home down payment requirements for owner-occupied transactions (where the buyer will live in one of the units).
Starting November 18, 2023, Fannie Mae will allow 5% down payments for owner-occupied 2-, 3-, and 4-unit homes. This reversal of the prior policy of requiring 15-25% down for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes will be a major benefit to those looking to purchase a multifamily home to live in.
Anyone in the market to live in a home while collecting rent and building landlord experience should take action to secure this financing option when it becomes available.
