Quadplex Mortgage From a Florida Mortgage Broker

A quadplex (fourplex) is the largest property that still qualifies for residential financing. Four units is the ceiling — five or more becomes a commercial loan — so a fourplex is the sweet spot for scaling with low-down, owner-occupied terms.

Owner-occupied, a fourplex uses FHA at 3.5% down, conventional, or VA at $0 down, with rent from the other three units counted toward qualifying. FHA's self-sufficiency test applies, so those three rents must cover the mortgage payment — a meaningful screen we run up front. The result is a building that can pay for itself while you live in one unit.

As an investment, a fourplex uses DSCR or conventional investor financing. We structure the loan to your strategy and confirm the rents support it.

FAQ

Quadplex Questions

Can I buy a fourplex with an FHA loan?

Yes, with 3.5% down if you occupy one of the four units. FHA applies a self-sufficiency test, meaning the property's rents must cover the full payment. We verify that math on your target fourplex before you commit.

Why is four units the limit for residential loans?

Lending guidelines define one to four units as residential and five or more as commercial. So a fourplex is the largest property you can finance with low-down, owner-occupied residential terms — which is why investors target it.
