Here are some key points about multi-family homes: A multi-family home refers to a residential property that contains more than one housing unit. This includes duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment buildings. The main advantage is that they produce rental income from the additional units beyond the one the owner occupies. This can help pay the mortgage and provide cash flow.
Multi-family properties are typically classified as residential real estate if they have four or fewer individual units. Properties with five or more units are considered commercial real estate. Financing for multi-family homes often requires a higher down payment compared to single-family residences, usually at least 20-25% down.
Lenders look at the potential rental income from vacant units when qualifying borrowers for multi-family loans.
Landlords of multi-family properties must comply with landlord-tenant laws and fair housing regulations.
Managing tenant turnover, maintenance, and repairs across multiple units is more involvement than a single-family rental.
So in summary, multi-family homes allow investors to live in one unit while generating rental income from the others, but also require more capital upfront and active landlording.

Here are some typical requirements and tips for getting a mortgage on a 2-4 unit multi-family home:
Down Payment
- Most lenders will require at least 15-25% down payment for a multi-unit property meant as an investment property.
- If you plan to live in one of the units (owner-occupied), you may be able to put down as little as 3.5% with an FHA loan.
Credit Score
- You’ll generally need a credit score of 620 or higher to qualify.
- Higher credit scores will help you get better interest rates.
Debt-to-Income Ratio
- Lenders want to see that your total monthly debts are no more than 43-45% of your gross monthly income.
- Projected rental income can help qualify you by offsetting your housing costs.
Cash Reserves
- You’ll likely need 6-12 months of cash reserves equal to the monthly mortgage payment.
- Reserves help show you can cover vacancies or repairs.
Appraisal and Income Documentation
- The property will be appraised to determine its value.
- You’ll need to document your income sources and potentially projected rents.
Shop Around
- Get pre-qualified with multiple lenders that offer multi-family loans.
- Rates, fees, and down payment requirements can vary significantly.
Using the right multi-family loan program and having verifiable income from other units can make qualifying easier. Working with a mortgage broker experienced with investor loans may also be helpful.
