First House Hack Financing

[Steven Gastrau]

Hello all,

Looking to do my first house hack come next spring 2023. Specifically in Greenwich or Stamford. I’d like a duplex or triplex and would rent out a room on my side as well. It seems like the only way for me to be pre approved for a property in these areas is to have a co-signer on my loan due to how expensive they are and my current income. Does anyone have advice on how to go about this? Also, any recommendations on local mortgage brokers in these areas? I’m very new to all this, as I just recently learned about house hacking. Any advice would be great!

Thanks,

Steve
