House hack with FHA

Live in the one unit, rent the other 2.

FHA likely won't lend on this one at this price. For 3 and 4 units it counts 75% of all the units' rent ($4,570/mo), and that has to cover the full payment ($10,192/mo). The numbers below are for reference.

How this is figured
  • Loan $1,177,283 ($1,157,035 + 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance) at 7.11% (Freddie Mac 30-year average, week of Nov 12, 2026), 30 years: $7,920/mo
  • FHA mortgage insurance $723/mo · property tax $1,199/mo · insurance $350/mo
  • Vacancy, management and capex on the rented units, upkeep on the building: $1,933/mo
  • FHA allows 3.5% down on 2–4 units when you live in one, up to HUD's 2026 San Diego County limit for 3 units ($1,708,400). Lenders count only part of the other units' rent toward qualifying.
