Buying a duplex, triplex or fourplex in Columbia County
Same FHA loan. Same 3.5 percent down. You have to live in one of the units for the first year, and the rent from the other units can count toward qualifying you. That's how a fourplex here reaches $1,041,125 on a program most people believe is only for single family houses.
Three and four unit buildings have to cover their own payment on the rent roll. That rule is where most buyers stall out on their own, and it's worth ten minutes on the phone before you go look at anything.
The same person start to finish, in every county in Florida.
I've been doing this since 1997 out of Fort Lauderdale. If you want to know what is actually possible in Columbia County, call 888-601-8344 or text 954-816-8820. One call, under ten minutes. No formal application to start a conversation.
