Yes — FHA finances one- to four-unit properties when you live in one unit as your primary residence. A duplex can help you offset the mortgage with rental income from the other unit. Down payment, loan limits, and how rental income is counted all matter. Ryan and Steve walk Indiana buyers through owner-occupant duplex financing.

Owner-occupant duplex financing combines FHA's low down payment with the chance to offset housing costs through rent.

FHA duplex purchases follow standard FHA credit and DTI rules with added focus on occupancy, property type, and rental income.

How the other unit's rent is counted can make or break your approval — plan for documentation early.

Multi-unit FHA files need clear occupancy and income planning from day one.
