Can a first-time buyer afford a multi-family house in Goose Creek?

Affording a multi-family house in Goose Creek as a first-time buyer is realistic when the additional units' rent is factored into the loan qualification and realistically covers a meaningful share of the mortgage, something a lender can confirm during pre-approval. It generally asks for a larger down payment and more active management than a single-family home.
